Still no 'dislike' button.
- johnfn 17y agoI dunno about how much of this is common knowledge by now, but Facebook has a good (albeit manipulative-feeling) reason to not have a dislike button: Facebook is engineered to be a purely positive experience. Here is a quick article about it: http://anotherlab.rajapet.net/2009/06/facebook-does-not-need-dislike-button.html http://anotherlab.rajapet.net/2009/06/facebook-does-not-need...

- diN0bot 17y agobeing collectively negative often means being exclusive and closed minded, which aren't necessarily negative in themselves, but over time i do think it hurts the collective participants, just as any non-thinking joiner activity can. disliking something, which often leads to not doing it, limit's a person's growth, and is thus more hurtful than liking something, which often leads to doing it, which can sometimes lead to thoughtful evaluation (though perhaps experience itself is what's important, not even judgments at all).
