I still think it makes no sense to leave the link to the dislike option and disable it. Oh, well.
I've watched social media censorship get worse and worse for years, but nobody here seems to get what I'm talking about.
Everybody noticed, but "censorship" is often not the right word. Getting banned from one service neither eradicates the message nor the messenger, anyone can go and post stuff somewhere else. Uploading to vimeo rather than youtube is not the same as fleeing a repressive regime. Neither is not being able to add +1 to a counter of likes or dislikes, which eventually don't matter.
But the issue is very real and problematic: these websites mediate most communication while they have to make profit.
maybe it wasn't a great idea to let them do that
