Interesting observation but the dislike button on social media platforms has done more damage than good over the years. Suicide and depression among young people can be attributed to social media (trolling or disapproved via dislike buttons). And with a platform as Nairaland where there are divergent views, a dislike button might trigger or see a sharp increase in depression, and possibly suicide among Nigerians. So many social media platforms are either muting the dislike buttons or not showing dislike counts for those reasons. From a psychological point of view, a dislike button will see Nairaland become a troll farm. 2 Likes |

Once there is like, there should be dislike too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

If you don't like a post, ignore it. Or report it if it breaks any rules. No need for a dislike button. |

LMServices:I think you might need to visit the comment section (of a post with lots of comments) on LindaIkeji's blog like I earlier suggested to Seun to see a sample of what I mean. Whatever psychology is stroked through liking of comments should also be reprimanded by people against the person's point of view/bias through disliking such comment. Suicide and other stuff you stated as a probable result seem unfathomable to me, especially as these suicide are results of having low likes on attention seeking platforms like Instagram, NOT on forums like Reddit; and also from troll comments on the attention seeking platforms. Nairaland is a faceless forum with people of different opinions dropping comments, I believe we should be able to express our silent displeasure to our fellow Nairalander through the dislike button. E.g. People against my point of view on this topic that aren't willing to comment could simply hit a 'Dislike' button and move on. Also, those of us against tribalism comments could simply hit the dislike button, especially if the comment was subtle and doesn't warrant reporting the comment. |

I thought of something like this, but for the same psycholohical reasons I figured it wasn't necessary but the upvotes and downvote would work better ans they'll push negative stuff down the viewing order and all the useless ads and porn stuff would go down too and would even be easier for mods to filter that way 1 Like |

emmy512:You just inspired me to add that, if it's possible, Seun & co. should code a Nairaland comments algorithm that will relegate the most disliked comment to the very bottom. This will lead to positive comments on the first pages and that will sure feel like a breath of fresh air from the negative comments flooding in here. 1 Like |
