This site became infinitely better when we removed the downbear. I was against it at the time, but I can't argue with the results.
Just the fact that choosing not to interact is a sign of displeasure means that people who post dumb shit still feel the sting, but they don't get the sensation of engagement, making them less likely to post thru it.
How is reducing engagement a good thing for a community ?
Because "engagement" is the GDP of websites.
It's not a reduction of any engagement, it's a reduction in negative engagement.
