It depends on the context where you intend to use the term.
As a general description of these state buttons, i prefer "toggle button". And add the state that is toggled when describing a certain button, like "favorite toggle button".
The concept of feedback/comments and evaluating eachothers feedback was (among other improvements) refered to as "Web 2.0" a while ago. Nowadays I think "social media interaction" is the popular term.

1even I was thinking of them as 'toggle buttons' as they have two states amongst which a user can switch.– Kartik GMay 15, 2011 at 9:40
You can call it "interaction buttons" or "reaction buttons", because the users react/interact to/with the content.
