Online interaction is already feedback-poor. Removing this small unequivocally positive piece of feedback makes that worse and also seems like the wrong part of feedback to cut down on.
Would you support Twitter removing like"/heart counts on tweets? If so, would you prefer only public counts be removed (so that you know how many times your own tweets were liked, but noone else does) or removing like counts altogether?

What if we had something akin to the reactions that facebook has? Also, do you feel it would help if likes / retweets were hidden by default until the user clicked the tweet / revealed them?

Switch to emoji reactions, like slack. (This may be a bad idea; I've spent very little time critiquing it)

Whatever you do it will never be like real life. IRL all kinds of subconscious reactions get picked up. On the internet no reaction that isn’t strong enough to cause someone to click a button is detectable.

Keep the hearts and add a dislike button as well.

No because I have a sense of dread that they’d foul it up and all the things I’ve liked to eventually get round to looking at would disappear in a puff of smoke.

I want up- and down-votes, and counts of both, at least privately. Even negative feedback makes this feel less like shouting into the void.
