Pinning something seems more like bookmarking or saving a post, but that's not same as liking a post. I want to let the other person know that I appreciated it, it made me laugh/smile, or enjoyed it. Pinning does not convey that. I agree with Rekado also that it shifts it to myself, but my intention is to aimed toward the poster.

Also, hearing that there will be a big UI shift reminds of when Facebook would make similar kinds of changes and everyone freaked out. I hope that doesn't happen on D*.
