Yeah, you believe what you need to.
Just because members try to be polite, don't confuse that with an unwillingness to step off in someone's ass.

Izzat like turning your gun sideways?Turn your phone sideways.
Who downvoted you?I love this button. Just downvoted almost everyone for fun....
Personally, I would -not- have a Dislike Emoji at all.
Based on a few of the posts in this thread alone, doesn't look like it.
I can't believe we have such a Facebook loving, only make me feel good crowd.
I agree. Too many people will take it personally and turn it into a pissing contest.Personally, I would -not- have a Dislike Emoji at all.

See? This is the same crap as the first go-round. Next will come “report this posts” where someone is bitching because someone “dislikes them.” G*ddamn bunch of cats, I swear to God....I agree
Dude. No need to go insulting cats on this.See? This is the same crap as the first go-round. Next will come “report this posts” where someone is bitching because someone “dislikes them.” G*ddamn bunch of cats, I swear to God....
What does the emoji for "personal distaste" look like? Mr. Yuk?
Exactly the same, with me.I say content only.
And I had no idea that there was/is "weight" to using those emojis. I didn't know it could count for it against someone. I just use them in relation to what I read and if I feel like it. Not a super fan of stuff like that.
I never thought the emogi thingies were for anything else other than reaction to content. Why would you want a reaction score attached to your name? We don't just post stuff we agree with or like all the time. Some stuff we post we are mad about or disagree with and we post it just to confirm our own reactions or get other peoples' input that might be contrary to ours. So, again why would you want a reaction score attached to peoples names when they were just trying to spark a conversation? If that were the case I would never use the angry or dislike emogis.
Likes are different. To me they aren't votes for a person, they just mean "I agree" or "This is a must read" without making a whole post just to say it. It's all for content; "ignore" is for the poster.The old software had “reputation” capability, which actually affected a “reputation score.” Way back at least 15 years ago, I tried activating it. The reaction was so negative that I turned it off. So when people clamored for “likes”, all I could do was smile recalling the previous attempt.
Thank you Dennis for the thread on "Becoming". I got to use dislike.
Stolen from another source, but it pretty much crystallizes and clarifies the reason not to have this:
In case of a "dislike" button, people would think twice before sharing new content. There would be a recurrent assessment cycle on the part of the user before posting or sharing content. If the user's content is disliked, it is a subtle rejection of his/her idea or thought process. This would therefore discourage that user to post something in the future, and overall it would bring down user activity considerably.
Just like the pause/stop button drained people out of theaters, the "dislike" symbol will drastically reduce content from any site which decides to enable it.
What he said. Too open for misinterpretation. It's divisive. We don't need that. We're all crazy anyhow.Personally, I would -not- have a Dislike Emoji at all.
