What are the words for x-voting and tick-voting? I "upvoted" -> ?

By Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T12:27 (+13)

It's useful to be able to say "I upvoted because". What are most well-understood equivalents for tick and crossvoting?

Disagreevote

Agreevote 

Nice, though it does imply disagreevote which is not nice.

ChanaMessinger @ 2022-10-04T13:13 (+4)

Disagreevote is very nice, it's what it is.

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T17:36 (+2)

Then make an option and upvote it :P

x-vote

This one seems really nice to me. Quick to type. Unambiguous

Guy Raveh @ 2022-10-04T19:51 (+2)

I like this because it's shorter to type.

If you say you x-voted something, does that mean you voted agreement or disagreement?

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T17:36 (+2)

Disagree. Seemingly not unabiguous

Stephen Clare @ 2022-10-05T09:34 (+2)

Ah, whoops, I was just confused by the title of the post and thought you were just thinking of equivalents for "upvoting". Without that priming, agree that x-voting sounds good and is intuitive.

Plusvote

(as in, the equivalent of a "+1" comment)

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T17:37 (+4)

I can't believe you are gonna make me say agreevote and disagreevote. 

The wisdom of crowds is taking a beating here imo. 

Habryka @ 2022-10-04T18:04 (+4)

I am sorry. That is what the LW team calls them, and what our announcements say. 

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-05T00:00 (+2)

I disagreevote you in spirit. 

Can I suggest you change the tooltips.

Habryka @ 2022-10-05T18:34 (+4)

Changing the tooltip does seem good. Will make a small PR. 

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-05T19:13 (+2)

Can we submit issues to the codebase?

Habryka @ 2022-10-05T19:47 (+2)

Yep, go ahead. It's a decent place to suggest features or record bugs.

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-05T20:01 (+2)

Where is the repository? I've looked and can't find it.

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T12:30 (+2)

Crossvote

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T12:29 (+2)

Tickvote

Kind of unwieldy.

Guy Raveh @ 2022-10-04T19:46 (+5)

Both this and "crossvote" use specific English terms which I think would be less understandable to non-natives?

E.g. in Hebrew we call those signs X and V (pronounced "eex" and "vee"), so understanding the word "tick" for that takes me longer.

Nathan Young @ 2022-10-04T23:59 (+2)

x-vote and v-vote are nicer but I fear that they will not pass the community vote.

Ben Stewart @ 2022-10-05T09:17 (+1)

I like x-vote but v-vote reads like downvote to me
