IMHO nostr has likes ("+") dislikes ("-") and emoji reactions. Emoji reactions should not be counted as likes or dislikes. Some clients/people always use emojis and never "+", others always use "+" and never emojis, and some clients/people can do either one. This is not ideal but it is what we have.
I wouldn't consider a post somebody emoji-reacts to as a post that they like. Gossip client, for example, has 2 separate reaction counts: likes + reactions.
But also, I think 1984 reports don't also need emoji reactions, and although the additional emoji reaction isn't wrong, it's probably a bad idea given what you have poitned out.

I only recently found out of + being positive and - being negative recently by manually looking up how satellite.earth tagged up/downvotes in it's events. I knew about holding the zap button in amethyst to get to zap settings so out of curiosity, gave holding the react button a try. Lo and behold I can change the reaction options! And + was a heart/- was a thumbs down.
Back in the day reddit was my fav so hope such compatibility for voting can be somewhat unified in a few nostr clients.
Though till learning of the - reaction, I considered ALL reactions to be positive. After all some dvms will no doubt provided content based on all activity a post gets and you wouldn't help someone providing bad content get more views.
