Instagram plans to enter a “I don’t like” button for comments

While other platforms strive to directly hide or eliminate the “I don’t like” or “Dislike” button, it seems that Instagram, one of social networks owned by Meta (Facebook), wants to bring it back to comments.

The company is doing tests in which some users appear a button to indicate that they do not like a comment.

At the moment, the company ensures, through its own boss Adam Mosseri, that there is no “I don’t like” accountant and that the rest of the users will not be able to know at any time if someone has given that button. However, it seems that the target plans aim to relegate the comments with more “dislikes” to a lower position in the list of comments of a publication. From Instagram they claim that it would be A way to make comments more friendly on the platform.

With more and more hate speeches allowed in publications and comments of this social network, it may not be a bad idea if it is not only limited to comments and is also implemented in the publications themselves.

The user @alex193a from Twitter (X), published an image of how this button was shown, represented by an arrow down.
