@thor Well, it's a nice new spin on how to handle online social interaction. Some dislike this feature completely. I don't — I think it makes replies cleaner, rids them of "I agree with this", "Oh, what a nice cat", "I've read your reply and I have nothing to add" — it doesn't mean that receiving this kind of reactions is bad and makes me feel unhappy.
@thor I don't think that removing that button completely will make online interactions more "humane" — some won't think about their reply for too long and it will just bring back the "I like", "+1", "I second this" — that kind of thing. Some will think that's rude and will try to come up with more meaningful replies, but that will require them to put more effort in those so it's kinda manipulative.
