I imagine fewer people would comment than would click βlikeβ but I see what you mean shout it potentially cluttering replies if they did. Weβre actually more in agreement on this than not. I believe likes are a useful way of communicating something sometimes. Where I think we disagree is on who should have control. What I hear you saying is that I should not be able to affect your ability to send me a reaction. I disagree with that. I should have that control. And giving you the option to send it while I simply donβt see it negates their use as a communication tool. At that point it is only to make you feel better for having pressed a button.

It's not a question of feeling better, those who don't have this option activated will also see it, it serves to see what you have liked over time (yourself) and in the other hand you are questioning how the current mute option works, it just works the way I would like the (misnamed) onlyzaps to work.
