Dislike button is coming to 𝕏. The feature is already rolling out to some users.​

​

 

[Dacvak]

Yeah, that’s what Twitter is lacking: negativity

Spoiler

Wish they’d bring back the dislike count for YouTube though…

 

[West Texas CEO]

I like it

 

[T8SC]

 

[Saber]

This gonna end gloriously well for them. Specially the retard takes.

Don't go breakin' my heart.
Your love is like bad medicine.

[digital_ghost]

When is it coming to GAF.

I prefer dislikes on my posts to debates about my posts.

 

[abstract alien]

Does liking or disliking something even make a difference in terms of it being pushed in the algorithm? I was always under the impression that it didn't matter and the only thing that counted was the fact that you clicked on one or the other. You may get sent new things accordingly to which was you "voted", but disliking video won't help slow it's push because you were interested enough to engage with it, regardless of which way you engaged.

The same day the Politics section makes a comeback..

Actually, those two events happening at the same time would be fire!

I'll make a new forum called Poli-Quacks and we can discuss politics.

People be like "Yo, did you hear what went down at the PQ?"

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Can we use it so grifters don’t get paid?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

There needs to be an "I can't even" button. When you're divided, in the middle or confused or don't give a fuck. How fucking hard is that? Stupid company I swear to fuck.

 

[Banjo64]

Can’t wait to get arrested and imprisoned for disliking a Labour tweet.

 

[RoboFu]

Ohhhhhhh. I must creat an account now! lol

 

[Bloobs]

 

[IntentionalPun]

I’ll enjoy watching the shit show but otherwise don’t care.

Funny one of the top comments boosted by the blue icon is calling out “fa**ots” when Musk banned using the term “CIS” from the platform lol

Free speech absolutist! ABSOLUTIST

 

[Rockondevil]

I don’t really use X anymore but I love a dislike button.
I believe everything that has a like should have a dislike.

 

[YCoCg]

Elon should make it a premium feature so he can legit sell hate.

 

[dorkimoe]

he will 100% disable or take this away on his posts. Then again i think the entire point is just to get engagements

 

[Yamisan]

Only bad people use Twitter\X anyways.

 

[John Bilbo]

That's great! I dislike this post.

I believe that is what the triggered button is for.

[Valedix]

Just in time for the election. Fuck twitter.

 

[LegendOfKage]

Really bad idea, IMO. More change coming to something that was better off as it was.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I've said in the past, for all the "I would never get twitter blue!" people on the platform, he should make it so you can gift people subscriptions.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Elon based?

 

[AJUMP23]

I barley use like, but I will dislike the mess out of stuff.

 

[clem84]

I've said in the past, for all the "I would never get twitter blue!" people on the platform, he should make it so you can gift people subscriptions.

That's actually a really good idea. Let people reward each other for creating good tweets. This would significantly drive content creation and interaction.

 

[SlimySnake]

Good. twitter is a shit hole and his fucking algorithm doesnt learn when i mute, block and uninterest psychotic posts from so many users. maybe dislike would help.

 

[Outlier]

I literally was wishing for this the other day, just so I could dislike posts from posters like the Krassensteins. Also the annoying reposted old stories.

 

[kruis]

Yeah, that’s what Twitter is lacking: negativity

Dislikes will probably not publicly viewable, it's there so the algorithm can use that information to show you more interesting posts in the "For You" timeline.

BTW There are browser addons like "Return YouTube Dislike" that show you the dislike count. Works perfectly.

 

[DKehoe]

Something new for the people that are really into YouTube dislikes.

 

[Bloobs]

Edit wrong thread

 

[cormack12]

Oh lawd, this gonna be hilarious watching the sweat fights. For people like jkr especially

 

[SnapShot]

I'm curious about whether community notes really are helping in kicking out grifters and engagement baiters, seemed like it's just encouraging them and I doubt dislikes will be different

 

[DKehoe]

I wonder if a lot of the time a community note can actually drive more engagement to a post because you get people retweeting it saying something like "lol, check out the community note ripping this dipshit apart."

I think they can be good for scams though. Like you will see adverts for a product or a game and there will be a community note below it pointing out that it's bullshit. So if that saves someone wasting their time/money then that's a positive.

 

[Laptop1991]

yeah it will get abused by some and used for less than genuine reasons, but i brought it back for my Youtube and it's better to have more free speech reactions than less, so a good move for me.

 

[nkarafo]

Yeah, that’s what Twitter is lacking: negativity

That's what all social media is lacking: A narcissism check.

 

[Griffon]

It's unironically a good thing.

 

[WoJ]

I don't use Twitter but I'm okay with this. We need more public shaming of bad takes in today's world. Dumb people need to be reminded they're dumb.

 

[StueyDuck]

Haha I think alot of certain people are having a real fit over the announcement of this...

Can you dislike when they do the usual block like certain people do

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Lol...

I can't wait for Xochitl Gálvez to have the record for most Dislikes on Twitter

 

[The Pleasure]

Did someone give Miyamoto a copy of Starfield?

 

[Bloobs]

No, but I hope he has watched the Borderlands movie

 

[DeafTourette]

I don't use Twitter but I'm okay with this. We need more public shaming of bad takes in today's world. Dumb people need to be reminded they're dumb.

Or that people disagree with their takes, smart or dumb.

 

[DragoonKain]

As long as mass dislikes don't make them hidden, I don't care. Allows mobs to control what stuff is visible, which is stupid. Like on Reddit.

 

[FeralEcho]

We need to implement a system where when using twitter you agree to have a punching device installed on your device so that everytime you access your twitter and you get a mass dislike to your idiotic take the device activates and you get punched in the face.

That will get people to take a second and think before posting their thought diarheea on the internet.

 

[Tams]

Can’t wait to get arrested and imprisoned for disliking a Labour tweet.

Oh, you hate criminal, you!
