Could Mumsnet add a disagree button alongside the current reaction options?

Can we have a disagree button please?

This is Mumsnet after all so I don’t understand why buttons are limited to Thanks, Agree, Love & Support. The most innocuous topic can turn into a bunfight on here so why not give us a disagree button? I don’t always have time or energy to quote and then explain to a poster why I disagree with them. Also as a poster it would be equally useful to know that someone disagreed with me as agreed with me.

Morning, @Nightmare2022 . Thanks for getting in touch. As others have mentioned, we did have a few discussions about this around the time the buttons were introduced and we felt that it seemed a bit negative and maybe even a bit reductive to enable people to just give posts the 'thumbs down' with no other engagement. We felt it might put people off posting, if their OP or post got lots of thumbs downs (or even fingers extended, as suggested here!) and that it might kill the conversation a bit.

We're always happy to consider changes and will have a chat about it at MNHQ so please do add your thoughts to this thread and we'll keep reading.
