After arguing a bunch with Ruby and habryka, I’m currently leaning towards a PR that keeps the reacts in the bottom-right but moves the add-react icon over there.
I agree the icon should have a + button, will work on that.
this has the interesting effect of putting an active element in EVERY corner of the comment—UL has collapse and voting, UR has the vertical dots for subscribe/report, LL has reply, and LR has react. This is madness, but may also be brilliant.
how about something not in the bottom right? bottom right significantly changes the eye movement pattern needed to read a comment. eg, instead, how about:
That was my preference, Ruby and Oli didn’t like it because of too much forced visual clutter and were more confident that people would learn to look in the bottom-right. I weakly disagreed but if a bunch of people prefer it on the left I may restructure it a bit.

I think I changed my mind on this, FWIW, after playing around more in this thread. I think bottom-left is indeed better.
