Came here looking to share feedback about the “me too” label. A woman in my community was triggered by it because it reminded her of the #metoo movement. Her chat with me:
random: what’s the Me too icon/button I’m seeing. As a woman, “me too” means something really different…
my reply: that is a new discourse feature for topics that can be marked solved. People can indicate they have the same problem without having to reply with a “me too” response.
I figured - and that’s a useful tool. I don’t know if the name is problematic, but it does feel like an oversight in a male-dominated tech sector…
I can’t think of a better default term but wanted to point it out in case it resonates with others. Maybe a different default term would make sense here. I’m not going to change it on my sites but will be on the lookout for more feedback.
I also like the idea of being able to customize this label on a per-category basis, depending on how the category is set up. Perhaps some default options in a pulldown plus a custom option.
