Instagram users don’t “like” this change.
Meta -owned social media platform seems to be testing a new feature that allows users to “dislike” comments, but the tool has collided as a promotion of harassment and negativity.
In various social media apps, Instagrammers shared photos of their comments sections featuring the newly added arrow.
“Now can you sit/don’t like the comments on Instagram, Whataatwhy?” An X user wrote along with a on -screen section of her comment section.
“Another feature they are giving by no one who asked for”, kidnapped a thread user, seemingly alluding to the latest changes made to the app, such as vertical network posts and seeing which friends wrapped your liked.
“People are already unheard of. We definitely do not need that feature, ”someone else agreed.
“I don’t like that feature. It will make people sad or uncertain about posting and their things. Don’t like people to be medium. They don’t have to have that option,” decreed another user.
“Will get internet harassment on another level,” mourned a person on Instagram.
“Likes as if they want to continue seeing us arguing and hating each other,” wrote one X user for the Dayy Post.
“Everyone is already a hate. Why give more features to enable it? “commented on another person.
“Oh law. So, in addition to getting added PPL in likes, let’s further detect their mental health by adding non -connection, ”someone else said.
But not everyone was unhappy.
“I finally be a full -time haters,” a person on Instagram rejoiced.
“Bullying is back allows GOOOO,” celebrated another.
“I’m placing everyone!” Someone else wrote.
“Why just comments and not posts?” A user of a threads wrote. “I loved the buttons of dislike on YouTube. One of the worst decisions they make was to escape from it. Now a video can take millions of ‘hatred’ and most people have no idea. “
Popscope, an Instagram account, claimed that the goals of the new feature are “to provide users, especially the content makers, with a means of managing and mitigating toxic or fierce comments in their posts”.
“By not liked a comment, creators can potentially reduce its visibility, in the most positive environment of interaction for their audience,” Popscope.
The post has reached Meta for comment.
Participation comes after CEO Mark Zuckerberg faces the response to the reaction to the interruption of the fact -checking feature across Meta platforms.
“We will go back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our police and restoring free expression on our platforms,” Zuckerberg announced last month in a video.
Namely, the applications will eliminate “restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender that are simply out of contact with the main discourse”.
“What began as a move to be more inclusive has increasingly used to close their thoughts and close people with different ideas,” he said, claiming that she has “gone too far”.
