@prologic This is a fair point as well, but it doesn't feel as natural to say "Cool post!" when you can just "like" the post. However, I totally understand your position.
@kayos on this I very much agree with you. You see, I am pedantic to an unhealthy extreme, and I honestly dislike things like these you mention. There are occasions I want to show I like, or I agree with something, but simply do not do it because **I hate** to simply write "Cool!", "Awesome!", or an Emoji as a reply. I don't see likes as dopamine boosters—though will agree they might work like that for most people—but as a short engagement for things that, well, simply require, or deserve, an "I like it!" reply.
It doesn't need to be a like. It can be a star, a ball of yarn, a horse shoe. Whatever! Mastodon does it. Discourse does it. It is just a way to simply avoid the noise of little replies, composed of little, small twts (which I **hate**).
@fastidious Whilst I sympathize with your view on "little twts", the _thing_ is we have to be empathic of others and how others like to engage with others. Yes "short replies" can well umm litter your timeline, I totally get that, but you know what... It doesn't for very long 😅 -- This doesn't mean we should introduce a "counter" though for Twts -- it's too easy to abuse that for all kinds of nasty horrible things. -- Yes the doephamine addiction places like Facebook, Twtiter, etc have created is **very real** 😢

Oh, and in case I didn't make me case clear, **I hate** little replies. That might give someone the impression that I am a hateful guy. I am not. I simply like content, and substance, and a twt with "Cool!" or "🤣🤣🤣" isn't that.
@fastidious you can't read my content and substance, so I'll leave you emojis 😁🙄🤔🥑
@eaplmx Bwaahhahahahaaaaa! This is bloody brilliant! I actually can't stop laughing. Very nice job, you definitely made my day! :'-D
