I think sites would benefit from having more rich voting options, for example: agree but weak-argument, disagree but well-stated, changed my view, etc.

Would yield some more interesting ways to sort and rank comments.

So basically, like Facebook Reactions and those post ratings plugins you can get for various forum scripts now.

Yeah, I think that would work. Especially if 'disagree' is a neutral reaction rather than a negative one, so downvoting for disagreement stops being a thing.

Very good idea. I wish I could mark your post as such. Then Dang could just filter by "good idea posts" and easily see how to improve site or world.
Build it and they will come.
