You think a dislike button… would stop this??
I think it would have the exact opposite effect.

For instance. We used to call rap music. Square Dancing.
See perspective!
What about those who do see it as negativity. Those with anxiety issues or those with other issues that make it difficult dealing with things? Do we ignore them so folks have a way to show their disapproval with the click if a button? Anyway, this has become a circular discussion with folks just repeating the same things over and over. I am not for it, thats my position and isn’t going to change as I see no positive side to adding a disapproval emoji. You all have a great day and be good to each other.

Why doesn’t positive have to be explained, but disliking must be explained? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Many blessings and much love

Because positive isnt offensive

Because a positive never offended anyone. If there is a negative, someones immediate reactions would either be “fuck that” or “why?”

When I verbalize my disagreement I have a feeling they will feel much worse than a little thumbs down.
I experienced the very thing yesterday when I decided to engage with my dislike about something by verbalizing my opinions. It was a trainwreck. Many blessings and much love

If the only action to give is positive, is it really even positive? Many blessings and much love

What about folks with ADD who read every post and are disheartened by the clutter in the trade and seeds threads as they read through.

This is a real issue for some.
We need a weighted list of disabilities to see who wins out in those sort of battles.
And another thumbs down for you sir.

Relevance is only relevant… if its actually Relevant … without explanation is just antagonistic…
You think people… are going to learn from how many likes or dislikes are on a comment…
Oh my…

Hey nobody coded my powdery mildew emoji yet or fungus gnats
I always thought skunk was good also. Highest praise
If a “negative” is needed, then without an explanation, there would be no growth. Without growth, the thumbs down is useless.

You look at who gave the likes and dislikes to help make your assessment

It’s not for the people who’s posts or comments are disliked, it’s not to help them learn. It’s to warn other members whom may be less knowledgeable or more impressionable that there is something about a particular comment that is disagreed with.
I’ll start being clear in the things I am in disagreement of instead of focusing on the more beautiful aspect the forum since a dislike button is so frowned upon I guess. Many blessings and much love
Except… some will dislike unreasonably… causing even more confusion…
