Having been on DW for a whopping four days now, I'm still in adjustment mode.

I miss likes. I do. I miss being able to click that little heart. I know a lot of folks on Tumblr use likes as a reading list, and dislike when they're done (sending this insecure fic writer into a minor tailspin: what do you mean dislike? Did you change your mind?!? *grabs paper bag to breathe into*) , but the way I used it was to say, "Hi, I see you and I like/support/acknowledge you" to the poster.

However. The lack of the like button on here means I actually have to type out a comment to get across the same sentiments, and while it's more work, it's also more . . . satisfying? I'm actually talking to people instead of waving hi. I know there's that "memorable entries" option you can click, but I'm feeling like it just doesn't work the same.

I also miss the queue.

Ahhh, which explains why it doesn't have the same weight as Tumblr likes. I've used it, but for things I want to refer back to, like your explanation of blacklisting.
