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.

No, please. There are trolls or really bad people, bullies that can use this to their own selfish way. One doesn’t have to hit that like button if he or she doesn’t like the post. But to provide them with a Dislike button is to trigger hate. Dislike button can be useful to rude posts. But for the sincere and really honest posts can also be a tool for the sake of trolling or simply to Hate.
I’ve stumbled upon posts that are nice, but I don’t feel like I needed to comment in but left a like or heart for encouragement. And would be quite depressing if disliked were ever hit for whatever reason they have no clue of. No views or no comments to a post is disheartening enough. And to provide a dislike button would be a harsh step.

This isn’t YouTube that “like” and “dislike” can have a challengingly wide margin of audience for entertainment. But here on SW, for the most part we are to encourage. A post without a view and a kind comment with numbers of dislike would be too much. Rude posts deserving enough to have Dislike hits, can be satisfying. But don’t let the bullies have their way with the Dislike button. Let the trolls have their say and the community have their own say against the trolls or bullies be known. But a silent Dislike? I am not favor at all.
