> Years ago, I started thinking of the LIKE/UPVOTE button as an "increase visibility" button.

I think Mastodon tries to make that distinction with like vs boost. Boost seems to be about making a post more visible ("hey look at this!") and like is more about "thanks for posting". At least on the server I use.
