Various chat systems where you can add a "thumbs up" or "smile" or the like encourage laziness and content-free interaction. On a mailing list, for the most part, we encourage people to formulate complete opinions supported by reasons and arguments. That is what python-ideas should be. It should not be a democracy or a voting system. That said, obviously sometimes people do just reply with +1 to something. I do that myself at times. There are times when that really is an appropriate reply, but I think it should be discouraged as the default answer style.

Intellectual property is to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.
