I have mixed feelings about this and have thought about it. On the balance I feel it's better not to have like/dislike/etc options without posting something on the thread.
It's almost exclusively on the imaging forums where this is relevant, and there I often see something that I wish there was an emoti-/reacti-con for because I have nothing to contribute other than "wow, great job" or "well done". But until we regularly start getting dozens of "well done"s per thread, I think it's better the way it is.
Having a like button would mean a lot fewer responses to threads. Not having it and being kind of forced to think for a moment in order to say something about the OP/image (eg why you like it if you do) is a good thing IMHO.
