#2What is the purpose? What will downvoting enable aside from downvoting itself?
I have a sense it will only worsen the mob mentality on Facebook and make it more like Reddit.

#3Surely there's enough proof out there at this point that ranked comments do nothing to improve discussion, and that downvoting is always used as a "I disagree" button?

Are there any popular systems in which there are separate downvotes for "I disagree" and "I think this is a low-quality, inappropriate, or abusive comment"? Or separate upvotes for "I agree" and "I think this is a useful, interesting, or high-quality comment"?

Many systems have a flag option; although that is usually reserved for abusive or blatant spam comments.

Slashdot's moderation system (in theory) is excellent. It is more than a + / - button so I don't see it working in a faster-paced environment like facebook comments. I think the happy, sad, angry, and heart emoji-rating system they use now is probably already maxing out the amount of time a user will spend on rating something.

#8So there's an upvoting button and like button as well. Do they go hand in hand?

#9Disheartening to see that Facebook is unabashedly aping the cornerstones of various sites (reddit) and apps (Snap).
That said, a downvote, or a "dislike" button, is almost always a double-edged sword - although it can be used to tune out hateful comments, it can also turn potentially meaningful comment sections into echo chambers extremely fast.
I do not see this turning out well.
