Or, Rui, perhaps you have plenty of original thoughts and are a very
intelligent person and you post all of your original thoughts, but it seems
a bit stupid and like a waste of space to say "thank you for saying that" or
"i agree with you" every time you agree with someone and have no
disagreement nor a more nuanced position to add to the discussion.

Hi Milos
I am not quite sure I follow.
"Those who like would have to go to diffs" ?
"which would leave the button to more engaged editors"?
I personally find the "like button" on Facebook the dumbest idea ever - it
means you are too stupid or too lazy to think up anything and just go
around
clicking "like" all over the place. It impoverishes the process, as where
there is a "like" there could have been a enriching comment. For a
beautiful
photo, yes, for an intelligent quotation, yes, but for everything else,
leave a comment or leave it alone. What does the like refer to? If I add
"police beat up protesters", and someone comes along and "likes" it,
does
the "like" refer to:
1. the police beating up the protesters? ("I support them!")
2. me contributing the information - regardless of its quality? ("this is
news to me")
3. the fact that the information was good and well constructed? ("this is
well written")
See the point?

Thinking loudly: I think that something like like
button for edits
would give more reasons to continue with editing. Those who like would
have to go to diffs, which would leave the button to more engaged
editors and thus almost strictly internal community issue. Could be
discussed more about options and technical implementation.
Thoughts?
