  • Community Feedback Requested: Upvotes/Downvotes vs Likes

    Hi everyone, we're considering making quite a big change to Pagebound and want to get the community's opinion - please leave your feedback here!

    We have debated for a long while the merits of upvotes/downvotes vs a pure "like" system. We deeply believe in community moderation and community curation, and felt that an upvote/downvote system would provide the tooling for such community moderation.

    In practice, we've also seen a lot of downsides with this system. While there's no guidance for how to use downvotes, many people use it as a "disagree" button which can make people with unpopular opinions feel unwelcome to share their opinion (for example, if you share that you dislike a beloved character, you may receive downvotes).

    Moving to a "likes" only system would hopefully foster an environment where opinions are discussed rather than silently judged, and people are less anxious to engage in the forums.

    In the past there have been some very strong opinions both for and against downvotes - let us know what you think below
