👍🏽 Agreement or Opinion

When you hit the :+1:t4: on things is it because, 1) you are in agreement with what is being said or 2) you respect the opinion shared?

I myself do it mostly in respect of one’s opinion which we all have ( an opinion).

Good question, @Lu-Can. Certainly do this for choice 1, sometimes for choice 2. If a simple :+1: isn’t clear enough, an additional comment too.

@Alces_Americanus , it crossed my mind so thought I would put it out there.

As for me, I like it. Mostly true or funny. Or both.

Definitely like, but not necessarily share the sentiment.

Birds of a feather flock together. Seems that same people have similar thoughts most of the time. Others not so much. I Support trouble fixers, not trouble makers.:+1:

I probably don’t :+1:t3: enough. I’ll upvote something I like or agree with, but I’ll also upvote something I disagree with if it’s a good argument, clever, or funny.

Both 1 & 2.

It just depends. I wish emojis were an option.

Sometimes, it means I don’t necessarily agree but find the post interesting.

If I like, it is because I like. I respect anyone’s opinion but, does not mean I will just like a comment just because. So, if you see a like from me you got my seal of approval.

I agree with the opinion and how it is being said.

Probably mostly 1 for me but also 2 if a valid point is being well laid out even though I may not completely agree.

Sometimes I give a thumbs up to people who have replied directly to a comment I made to let them know I got and understand their response though I have nothing further to add to the discussion. In which case points 1 or 2 may or may not also apply:)

How about that you don’t necessarily like or agree with the opinion but just want to acknowledge the opinion. Since we only have a :+1: button, it is the only one to choose.

:+1: that’s"respect" in my case

Do all opinions deserve that (this isn’t a brainstorming session, right?). Isn’t that how Springer/Ohhh-pra pulled the fringes into the mainstream, then made them the mainstream?

I find that I gave every post in this string a :+1: for one reason or another. I refrain from the :+1: when the post is off the mark IMO. There are some folks that would always get a :-1:.
