Overview of the Issue

While investigating why emoji reaction "thumbsup" wasn't working on GitHub, I found via the GitHub API response that it's no longer a valid value. The thumbsup/down reactions on GitHub have been replaced with +1 and -1.

Reproduction Steps

While using Atlantis with GitHub, set the ATLANTIS_EMOJI_REACTION environment variable to "thumbsup" and see that reactions isn't working as described in the documentation.

Logs

"msg":"Unable to react to comment, error: POST https://api.github.com/repos/myorg/myrepo/issues/comments/1234567890/reactions: 422 Invalid request.\n\nthumbsup is not a member of [\"+1\", \"-1\", \"laugh\", \"confused\", \"heart\", \"hooray\", \"rocket\", \"eyes\"].

Environment details

Atlantis version 0.28.5

Additional Context

As I can't verify if Azure DevOps or GitLab also supports the "+1" and "-1" reactions, I created an issue instead of updating the docs in a PR.
