minus-squareDismal@lemmy.worldtoLemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂linkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI liked the star system, too. As the site grew in popularity, people just ended up 1 or 5 starring stuff. For the same reason - the “useful content” and “not useful content” buttons were dumbed down to “agree” and “disagree” buttons on reddit. Agree that you can’t really ask people to use a star system for message boards. Much less microblogs. linkfedilink
