I get that feeling too on Facebook (I don't "like" bad news). But this is HN.

  actually, facebook changes the "like" text for shared news (I forgot what it depends on, maybe the url not being a fb one) to something like "recommend". I remember being really surprised until I was pointed out that you don't want to "like" some of the news.

    I believe that is set in the metadata of the original article. I may be wrong, though.

      Yes, it's an option when installing the like button. Along with "show faces", color scheme, etc. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

    It still feels weird, even with "Recommend." "Tornadoes destroy trailer parks, strip malls in Texas" - Recommended by 241 people
