How to appropriately use "Like" in Amber Cutie Forums

[Dubious]

Newbie ACF participant here (3rd post). What is the standard / appropriate way to use the "Like" feature here on ACF?

As I scroll around and read posts in various categories, when I genuinely like, appreciate, or enjoy reading a post for any reason, I typically tend to give it a "Like."

If I have been unintentionally misusing and/or abusing the "Like" feature, what is a more intended &/or expected use of "Like," please?

Thx,
Dubious

Personally I give likes to comments that express an opinion similar to my own in threads I am looking at.

Nope, you're doing it correctly. Use the "reactions" as much, or as little, as you think appropriate. I think most people appreciate feedback on their posts. I know I do.

I agree, you're doing well.

I think I over use it, I don't necessarily have to agree with something someone said, to use it, although I do use it those instances.
I use it to acknowledge I read their post, so they know someone read it.

If I think they are being mean or annoying, I won't like it though, whether I've read it or not.

I try to be careful with the laughing one, because sometimes it has come across as a passive-aggressive type laugh when I haven't meant it to. That's the one I try to watch. I have used it passive aggressively, won't lie, but then other times I haven't meant it that way, and then I realize, after the fact, that it looks like I did. Usually because I was baked, and the post genuinely made me laugh, but I did't really think it through properly. I stress a little on that one.

I use the heart one often to express empathy with the emotional part of what I think someone is saying, which isn't really its literal meaning either.

TL;DR I over think the reactions too
