Same here.
I understand the motivation of the lack of the "like" feature, that is - I think - to encourage users to participate to the conversation and to break the pattern of social networks that rely on instant gratification. But, in addition to what Fragment and PorcelainLark said, it could make the experience more accessible and inclusive for those who may not feel comfortable with expressing their thoughts verbally.

When society judges without understanding, it silences hearts that yearn for connection.
