Facebook is getting .......................

Mmm, can't say that I'm that keen on the idea. The dislike button will only serve to encourage the trolls, not to mention providing unwanted negativity.
If anything, the "like" button should be abolished altogether. That may encourage users to actually comment on something rather just be a lazy "like" machine gun. There's nothing worse than logging onto facebook to find something like 20 notifications and 19 of them are only "likes".
However, from what I've read so far, the dislike button is only going to be limited in appearance, mostly attached to news videos. Although "liking" a bad news does serve to "flag" up the article to other users, it does come across as looking a bit distasteful.

One last note, who can remember when it used to be a "I am a fan of . . . ".

According to Zuckerberg, the new button's main role will be to enable people to empathise with their contacts bad news or sad moods.
Still don't think I'll bother :-)

Ah, but get rid of the "like" button and you'll have 19 comments saying "+1" "^^^ this", "I agree", "thumbs up" etc. I'm glad TP has a 'like' button, as it saves us from 90% of these.

It was relevant to a FB thread as that is where BF post a lot of material. Let's not have a debate about the merits (or otherwise) of BF again, please?

Yes. I've unfriended people for sharing "another angry voice" or "campaign for nuclear disarmament" material and those who shared pro Scotland separist material. A facepalm or dislike button wouldn't be sufficient for "people" who like that sort of claptrap.
 
Oh dear, the superfluous quotation marks are out today :runaway:

Don't you require better friends? I don't get any of such shares from my circle of friends and acquaintances.

I am not responsible for my friends' political leanings, but I can decide whether I want to be subjected to it.
