I was just thinking of the possibile impact had by not allowing/ hiding dislikes in creating the current, extremely tense climate on social networks. I wonder if allowing only positive feedback (which seemed to be meant, at least at the beginning, as a way to boost a mood of positive, pleasant interaction) is instead encouraging the expression of more and more extreme positions, since disagreement is effectively hidden. The popularity of a message doesn't imply that it's not at the same time divisive. You can get millions of hearts and likes, but you'll still be blind to how many people strongly disagree with it.
