👎 Should we have a Dislike button on posts?

Poll - Total Votes: 173

Yes - get a Dislike button

No - no Dislike button (please explain why)

You can only vote on one answer.

We want to implement [b]Reactions/Emotions[/b] on Similar Worlds at some point.

However, we wonder if including a [b][u]Dislike/Thumbs Down[/u][/b] button would bring us benefits or not.

👍 ❤ 🤣 😯 😥 😡 (👎)

Do you think we should implement?

If not, [b][u]why[/u][/b] do you think a Dislike button wouldn't be a good idea on Similar Worlds?

Please share your honest feedback!

Thank you.

I don't think it's a good idea, many people post things only to vent or express themselves, disliking what someone post seems like not respecting that person... And o.k. if one dislikes the post instead of it could write a comment and the author of the post has the freedom to reply or not.
Besides not everyone is liked by everyone, and surely some just for that reason will dislike your posts. Seems shallow... perhaps some sensitive people will feel attacked.

@ozgirl512 one has to think about people feelings this site is meant to be a kind of safe place... well some make it weird but more than anything one should feel.like in.home

@SW-User I can't argue with that... But I still my idea is a good one

@SW-User Calipri, that is because you are one of the few who truly speaks with her heart here. It isn't a home to many. It is more like a gun range where many are armed and words are their bullets. They are blindfolded and shoot randomly. I applaud your efforts. They do make a difference. You are a kind woman.

@PoetryNEmotion So well said - and unfortunately so accurate 😞

@BoobooSnafu It certainly has its good points too. And good people too. Mustn't forget the whole picture.

@PoetryNEmotion I LOVE the idea of the extra emoji's tho - especially if you l 'like' something - you can also just click 'why' you liked it.
