Now we will enter the age of trolls abusing the like feature to make their bait stand out more.

The quality of actual discussion will worsen as it will be just people trying to argue against trolls who otherwise would have been buried under the dislike system.

So if they are removing dislikes they should remove likes.

It’s a bit hugboxy but not that big of a deal

at least you have to say it now, i like that more than seeing a thumbs down.

personally i almost never used dislike. probably clicked it less than 10 times. seemed pointless and it was like the people who did used it thought it made their opinion more relevant.

There’s also people that purposely flag posts to hide them which is pretty much the same as downvotes lol. They also limited the amount of likes you could give for whatever reasons.

I wasn’t the type to actually downvote anything (unless it was something unnecessarily offensive or straight up someone spreading misinformation), but I liked to gauge a discussion on dislikes, though. It allowed you to quickly tell low effort bait and circlejerks from actual debate threads. I don’t have the time to read through entire 100+ post threads most of the time, and reading a small sample can give you an inaccurate perception on the reception of an idea, which overall leads to more confusion than anything.

i admit that in some cases I felt it was working as intended, but for the most part it was used in such a petty manner =/

I’m oregano and disagree.

But honestly, way too often it was use to shut down everything which didn’t fit to the “main thought” of thread.
