Nintendo had its own internal “social media” to streamline the massive workload during Tears of the Kingdom’s development (automaton-media.com)

Slack and Teams have emoticons for reactions which serve the same purpose.

In my experienced, it's never used in a voting manner, it's mostly to acknowledge and smiley faces (usually always from the same people). Serving the same propose isn't the same as being tailored for that purpose. For instance, I don't recall being able to order posts by amount of emoticons on teams although I don't know if you can do this with Nintendo's version, I'm just assuming. The actual bulletin part of teams where you can post things gets barely any use in my experience.

Tbh I'm not a big fan of teams in general. I don't have much experience with slack though.

Eh, we use them for voting, but only when the post specifically calls for using them for voting.

As does Google chat. It's been standard for years now.
