Not yet in this thread has anyone discussed the design concept that the community at large could use to help moderate: a dislike button.
Hacker news comments is a pleasure to read (A) because of the community, which (B) is curated by the ability to down vote horrible posts.
Facebook places value on these horrors, inadvertently I guess, but they are not empowering the users to shut down bad stuff. Imagine the possibilities.
- tobtoh 9y agoIsn't that what the 'Hide Post', 'Hide All Posts from X' and 'Report Post' options are for?
- banku_brougham 9y agoI dont think that action propagates information to other users though. The HN downvote button for instance removes visibility for everyone.
