My honest opinion (which may not be popular), is that thumbs up and down for"like' and 'don't like' - or the words, or hearts, or whatever - in topics on a Buddhist discussion site looks inappropriate and rather juvenile.

Maybe an equanmity button would be better.
As Buddhist meditators we are striving to give up our "likes and dislikes."

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

IMHO the nice thing about weboards is that they are not Facebook and not reddit. I think the ability to vote on comments encourages all sorts of regressive thinking and takes attention from what is communicated.

Re: Like function?
OK, sounds like there's no "like" for the "like" function.

Best Dhamma talk by Bill Maher ever
Re: Like function?
I'm not clear that it makes much difference in practice. It just leads to different behaviours. On boards like this, with no like function people post short messages saying "I agree", or "Good post". On boards with like functions, such posts are redundant, and people just use the like button.

Not a Dhamma talk and totally unrelated but Maher knocked it out of the park in his ending segment last Friday.
