thoughts on the concept of a darflen dislike button?

particular ideas:
- dislikes may show separate from likes instead of subtracting from the like count, similar to how youtube did it before they started hiding dislikes completely
- dislikes could be fully visible in notifications, showing exactly who disliked your post. this could either make beef escalate faster or keep people hesitant
- people should be given the option to turn off dislikes per post or per profile, in the event of dislike bombing
- dislike bombing ideally should be punishable

disclaimer: i am not a developer or moderator, i have no say in whether it would be implemented or not. thought this should be polled because the presence of a dislike button could encourage toxic behavior

    "i suggested a revamp of the loves system over a year ago when i first joined, and in the end it wasn't changed because paradock was "too lazy" (his words)

    i believe the winning option on the poll i posted was like/dislike ratio"




    that was ayd's repost in case it gets deleted

    it could just be that there's no notification for dislikes or the dislikes notification doesn't show who disliked you or something anonymous like that
    I don't think people would use it much tho tbh

    "dislikes could be fully visible in notifications" nobody does that, as you said, "this could (...) make beef escalate"
