I know the above post only had one downvote, but just to check: Didn’t we already have a discussion on how signalling agreement with things is a normal part of healthy human interaction and cooperation, and that we don’t really want to suppress it for some mechanical standard of “high content” or “signal/noise”?
An interesting point. I would like it if LW comments/ posts had a way to “agree” or “disagree” with them separate from Karma. The posts show how many people had a agreed/disagreed with the post and possibly who had done so. This would provide an outlet for the desire to express agreement or disagreement without being too cluttering. I experience this desire a lot, but usually hold back for fear of making clutter.
Upvoted and agree. I don’t really have anything more to add.
