- sircastor 5y agoThe dislike button never represented healthy discourse. At its very best, it was a coarse indication that neither suggested nor invited further clarity. Good riddance.
- luckman212 5y agoYeah, an echo chamber is much better. They should get rid of red lights too. They don't really offer any further clarity. Let's just have only green lights (no light at all means stop, of course) /s
