Social networking platform Facebook, recently tested a new feature known as "downvote"
Facebook is testing a new feature to let you quickly report abusive comments to the company.
The feature shouldn't be confused with pre existing downvote feature of reddit as the functionality of either are totally different. While the reddit's downvote pushes the comment or the answer to lesser as irrelevant, facebook's feature is more towards reporting of the comment. Previously user had to "..." for options and then hide comment, downvote is more accessible for user.
Facebook will then let you alert the company about the post, but the whole process isn't exactly intuitive.

In contrast, the company's downvoting feature gives you a clearer avenue to complain about a comment. Once clicked, the option will automatically hide the comment from view and ask why you had a problem with it. Four answers are given including offensive, misleading, off topic and other.
This feature shouldn't be confused with dislike option as this isn't any of the functionality.
"We are not testing a dislike button," the company said in an email. "We are exploring a feature for people to give us feedback about comments on public page posts."
