Dislike being removed?
I see today there is no Dislike button and on your profile page Disliked posts link is gone.
I hope you don't. Removing downvoting is what turned MacRumors into a troll den. It's easy for trolls to get many upvotes with typical troll tropes, complaining, etc...but it's the downvotes that act as a balance. Social feedback that discourages the haters and trolls -- because even they don't want to be downvoted a million times, or have a negative feedback ratio.
It's that feedback ratio on profile pages which help identify trolls and low-value commenters. Without it, I fear AI will become of less value to me in my reading habbits. I come for the commentary and trolls ruin it.
