It isn't
that similar to Facebook; Facebook has emoticons to compound the "problem"; Groups.io doesn't... thank goodness.
I think Sandi Kozinn makes a very valid point; "likes" are much less cluttering than posts simply sent in agreement.
In practice many users will have no idea that any given post has been "liked" for the simple reason that they use whatever groups they are members of by email only, and of course there is no "like" provision by email.
OK; if they were optional it would be a matter of choice for the group owner, but I wouldn't want them to be simply
removed. They are, IMHO, harmless, and once Mark has had time to recover from the recent melee there will, I suspect, be more significant changes to consider.
