Hmmmm, I suppose, but Facebook never had a Dislike, they added emoji reactions, technically, no?

A better example for what they’re talking about might be something like a news story about something terrible. According to one paradigm, you would upvote the post for visibility. According to another paradigm (the Facebook/Friendica paradigm), you would dislike the post to express your disapproval of what’s happening.

There are some platforms that offer emoji reactions. That at least gives a bit more nuanced of a reaction than just "up" or "down" - but it is not clear how you would use emoji reactions to sort posts. The good thing about upvotes and downvotes is that it's a very easy signal for which posts should be at the top, and which should be sorted below.

Eh that's that age-old Reddit argument, isn't it?
Vote for visibility, not for agreement.
But yeah, like probably 99% of users abuse Like and Dislike as "I agree" and "I don't agree".
Also here's a picture just to screw with you:

your example of how likes and dislikes can be interpreted on different platforms further reinforces my idea that likes and dislikes are an inherently bad metric that will be interpreted wildly differently between users, and that there should be better ways to interact with our posts than just two arrows.
