I wish the buttons for ‘truth’ said ‘agree / disagree’ instead, because while sometimes the truth is objective, other times comments are more subjective, and I desire to communicate that I disagree (‘false’ feels more icky, because I feel they are honestly communicating what they feel, I just don’t agree with their perspective)
In the case that some people say ‘true’, and an equal number say ‘false’, I would appreciate it if the ‘truth’ box (same for the other boxes) was still visible, and said ‘truth 0’, instead of disappearing. That way, one can distinguish between no box (Which means no-one has expressed an opinion), and a divided opinion.
Agree / Disagree is not a relevant axis of quality on Lesswrong. True / False is so relevant, when a comment contains explicit or implicit claims about reality to fact check.
I tentatively infer that the use case you’re thinking of is some kind of Quick Poll, where someone shares subjective anecdata and others can quickly chime in with whether their anecdata is alike or in contrast of that example. This would be an incredibly valuable tool; I really want to have that. What I don’t want is to have that tool in the place of a quality control system.

Polar opposite opinion on the truth buttons.
