The favorite button acts like a “Like” button.
But it's not a like button. It's a favorite button. Semantics matter to people switching services. Federation is a hard enough concept without adding cognitive load.
I've never been on mastadon, is there actually a difference in functionality? or is it just that they call it "favorite" ? (presumably since Twitter's
"like" used to be called "favorite" and I'm still a bit mad they changed it to be more Facebook-sounding)
