The term vote implies the action carries one of two values but zaps give you also magnitude so it tells you more. That alone means “vote” is not the right word.
On top we can react with emojis each of which carries information distinct from “yes/no/abstain” so again I think “vote” is not the right idea.
All that said, haven’t thought about a better label. Just wanted to add that it’s more than just semantics 😅

I’ll be curious what label you come up with. I’ll stop using “vote”… and I would argue there is a slippery slope here. Notes are ideas and when you support a note with sats it means something.
Take political donations as an example, politician to me represents nothing more than a set of ideas.
I like the term favor, but that only makes sense when constructing a model of quantifying relationship quality between npubs.
