Can you not see who reacted to a post anymore?
You used to be able to hover over the reactions (except Disagree) to see a list of usernames underneath, but it doesn't show anything now.

I also noticed this! Thought it was just me, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. It's super weird. That being said, it's by far not the weirdest thing that's happened on this site.

I noticed this as well, I think making that kind of data invisible to regular users was done to prevent people from “ganging up” on users via said reactions. The only downside I see is that it prevents people from seeing users that spam the flag reaction (in the sense of reporting another user’s posts for no good reason other than not liking that specific user).

To be honest I had no idea you could do that.

I think it is a good change. It reduces the amount of notifications you get and it means there is no risk of flagging someone else's posts just to get your posts counterflagged in revenge.
Perhaps positive reacts such as 'like' and 'agree' should still be visible. Sometimes you don't need to contribute a post of your own to a topic, and you simply want to drop a react rather than making a post. It might be helpful if people could see those to get a sense of who agrees with them.
As with many thing on this forum, I suspect the software only offers an 'all or nothing' approach.

For me, I could never see who disagreed or flagged my post.
