However, they still wanted to foster a platform based on kindness, so they decided how to include a dislike button <strong>without creating ill feelings<\/strong> between the community and content creators was a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, TikTok Comms <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TikTokComms\/status\/1573281026734018562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"posted a Tweet\">posted a Tweet<\/a> in which they announced that the new dislike button was <strong>rolling out globally<\/strong> after a period of testing. This feature\u2019s goal isn\u2019t to demotivate content creators but rather <strong>to help the platform<\/strong> identify inappropriate or irrelevant comments to improve the comments sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">? New feature incoming. Earlier this year, we started to test a new way people could identify comments they believe to be irrelevant or inappropriate. After some testing, we&#39;re releasing it globally. ?

When a user dislikes a comment, only that user and the platform will see it. The creator of the post and other commenters will not see the dislikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"911\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1.jpg\" alt=\"TikTok launches a dislike button 1\" class=\"wp-image-204113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1.jpg 911w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/TikTok-launches-a-dislike-button-1-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also <strong>won\u2019t be a dislike counter<\/strong> to demotivate content creators. By doing this, TikTok enables its platform and algorithms to filter comments more effectively without creating a toxic or harmful experience for creators and users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature is rolling out globally and should be <strong>available on your TikTok<\/strong> account soon. We are impressed that TikTok was able to add a dislike feature to improve the comments section without creating a negative environment. This is just another improvement, like the recent addition of <a href=\"https:\/\/tik-tok.en.softonic.com\/articles\/tiktok-filter-brings-text-to-image-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text-to-image AI technology in TikTok<\/a>, that shows why it&#8217;s one of the fastest growing platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The popular short-form video sharing platform, TikTok, is releasing an interesting new feature.
