Must say one of the things I like best about this place is the utter lack of likes and upvotes/downvotes and other similar nonsense.
I’d say its “worms, meet open can” time.
Maybe next they will implement my idea of having an “enemies” list along with your friends list. And then suggest friends from the enemies of your enemies.
I dislike the dislike button. No benefit at all.
I almost want a Facebook now.
I won’t be satisfied until Zuckerberg finally implements my Smell-o-Vision function that I sent to him three years ago.
Those who dislike a post should be able to be as lazy as those who like a post.
You should be able to dislike likes. I don’t get likes and it seems to just be a way to give people attention without having to respond. I think I’ve “liked” things exactly twice on Facebook. I don’t need to see things that other people have liked.
But if I could like something, I’d like this. I’ve posted on another website with up/downvotes (not reddit). It doesn’t bother me to get downvoted so much as be baffled when it’s a completely politically/morally/religiously/etc. neutral statement.
Glad to see you’re feeling hale and hearty, President Nixon. I heard that you died.
I never much liked the idea of the “like” button. I feel weird liking a post where someone has posted about something tragic. That said, I don’t think a “dislike” button will help out much and will bring on a whole new slew of problems. I think an “agree”, “disagree” and “check your facts before posting this dreck you mindless moron” button would make more sense to me.
They need a lot more buttons than “like” and “dislike” to appropriately express the breadth of human emotion. Such as buttons for “I’m feeling conflicted about this”, “Meh”, “Lulz”, “What does that even mean?”, “Simply cromulent”, and “Death to the infidels!”, at a bare minimum.
You forgot “I just like to push buttons.”
I want an absolutely hate button
I’d be rather keen for a Milgram button.
I hate that too. Some one will post about their niece or nephew dying of leukemia and then say we need to pay more attention to this disease. Hitting “like” might lead someone to think you like the death part and not the disease part of the post.
As long as they have a [block everything this person ever did/will post so nobody on Earth ever has to see/hear from them again] button all the rest are superfluous.
*If *they implemented that I just might be willing to get a facebook account so I could go on a vigilante rampage with my new button.
There’s no rule that says you have to hit the “like” button on sad posts about someone who is ill or dying. You can just as easily make a brief comment or not do anything at all. To me the “like” button can also serve as a general “I’ve read this and I acknowledge it” type of function.
I hate the idea of a “dislike” button. I think it will encourage a lot of negativity and misinterpretations, and I don’t want more of that on Facebook.
Dislike! (nsfw)
A friend of mine had a death in the family just this week. The post where she announced this DIDN’T say anything about raising awareness of whatever, it was just a brief post saying what had happened. Some dumbass still hit “like” on it. I’m sure this person did not actually mean they were happy about the news, but everyone else who responded managed to spare a few seconds to type “I’m so sorry to hear that” or something.
When my dog died I wrote at the end of my post “you can ‘Like’ this. I know what you mean.”
It’s about damn time!
Count me in for the “check your facts before posting this dreck you mindless moron” button, where do I sign the petition?
Recently I’ve had been arguing with some people like that; to my complete and utter lack of surprise, when checking another forum were the same people congregate, I see this from one of the in-groupies “We make posts to get likes so we can feel good about ourselves…” :smack:
The “Like” button ends up with people acting like pigeons in a Skinner box.
