Imagine:

Reply | Boost | Fave | Dismiss

We *could* prompt people to de-escalate

But we don't

Like, if a user's options are:

Like/boost/bookmark/reply/report/block

And nothing else

And there's no way to get someone's unwelcome take out of your sight

Given that we have a culture of "you lose the argument if you block me"

We're prompting people to start a fight by not giving them any "de-escalate" buttons to push

🤷‍♂️
