Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
I’m a bit worried I might accidentally like one of my own posts trying to see who liked it (as the heart is now right next to it) 
that would be embarrassing.
Thanks for the link @eviltrout 
can you just confirm I need to make a new account on Discourse Meta? I can’t seem to log in with the same details I use on here.
I don´t think discourse lets you like your own posts(I tried to like my post and then unlike again but I can´t like my post). Only twitter does that, and that´s so weird.
Oh okay. I still might end up liking something instead of looking at the likes though. And I have freakishly narrow fingies.
Well you can always unlike for a certain period of time.
Since you seem to be less shy about them than about your face you´ve shown them on several pictures so far and to me they look perfectly normal. 
True.
Have you seen this one though?
What is this person looking for? John McClane? Xenomorphs?

Hi @eviltrout
I just want to say that I think it’s not a good idea to remove the work “likes” near the heart button, because, as @PiecesOfKate pointed out, it’s too easy to click on it to see who liked and accidentally push on it, and it already happened to me.
The word “like/likes” basically worked as a safe area to click on to view users without clicking on the heart.

I find it interesting how many people have an issue with that i.e. how many people need to do that. If I look at the likes I only do that after I liked a post to not be influenced. 
But you forget the case when you do not want to give a like but you are still interested in knowing who liked that post.
Hey, the best place for your feedback is on the meta topic:
I’m not personally involved in this feature and that’s the best place to collect feedback and debate the feature.

That´s an interesting, what case is that?
For me, it happens often. I’m curious and interested in knowing other people who find a post particularly interesting while I didn’t. Or maybe there’s a joke I didn’t get.
Thanks @eviltrout! I was trying to lazily give you a feedback without having to sign up to another forum 
Are discourse accounts local only? I haven´t tried signing up to another discourse forum yet, so I wouldn´t know if they also work globally or not.
It seems so. I’ve tried signing up to the suggested forum with the account I use here but I wasn’t able to get in. There are some automatic sign up procedures via twitter, facebook and other social media, though.
Same here.
I agree with @Gffp. @eviltrout: Another solution would be to “split” the number and the heart into two buttons (that are clearly recognizable). This in includes that if you hover over the number only the number is highlighted.
