I went to Seattle for SEAGL a couple of months ago. I took the Link light rail from SeaTac to the university district where my hotel was. The train was about half full. I spent most of the time on my phone catching up on Fediverse posts, texts and email.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

I am a Yes, but. I think downvote/dislike buttons are a great distributed moderation tool. Many of the microaggressions (and not-so-micro aggressions) that make social networks difficult could be helped a lot by peer moderation.

The "but" is that it is hard to implement well, and hard to ensure that mobs don't silence important but unpopular voices.

I like to think about the time immediately after January 6 2021, when Trump accepted that Biden would be inaugurated, was impeached, was denounced by his GOP colleagues, and left office.

Should Fediverse interfaces that have a "Like" button also have a "Dislike" button?
