I like the sentence “I could also say this truthfully”, and I feel like it points towards the right generator that I have for what I would like “agree/disagree” to mean.
The tooltip of “Agree: Do you agree with the statements in this comment? Would the statements in this comment ring true if you said them yourself?” feels possibly good, though sure is a bit awkward and am not fully sure how reliably it would get the point across.
I’m pretty cynical about the ability to encourage any nuanced interpretation of such a simple input. Enough people will just use their first impression based on the icons and a quick reading of the labels that you will never be sure what the votes ACTUALLY mean, regardless of how clear your text guidance is.
I hope that people will just not use the agree/disagree voting for comments where it’s ambiguous what an entry would mean. If it doesn’t provide useful information about my reaction to the comment, why wouldn’t I just let my karma vote stand alone?
