If a client’s like button caused a 👍 note to be added to a note’s replies, you would be fine with that?

Yes. If someone really wants to react with the ❤️ or 🤙 or 👍 they should have to enter it in the comments or allow the content consumer to 1 tap any emoji. Why discriminate against the 👎 and the 💩 emojis.

In the current form, likes are meaningless and worthless reactions that require zero critical thinking. They take away from the content that was published. It's a social form of advertisement that deviates attention away from the post and can alter one's opinion.

Even showing the number of comments is superficial and takes away from the content that was published.

So you’re not really against likes, you’re against the way that clients display them: under an icon with a counter, instead of as a replying note. The former design makes likes “meaningless,” bereft of critical thinking, “advertisements,” attention-diverters, and opinion-alterers. If only clients put a list of redundant likes under a note, they would be none of those things.
