Deflame: Fight Flaming on WordPress Blogs
Deflame is a Chrome add-on developed by Alex C Becker, designed to tackle the issue of flaming in online debates, particularly on WordPress blogs. The program aims to provide users with a tool to better understand and engage with differing perspectives by allowing them to express their agreement, disagreement, or ignore comments from other users.
When visiting supported sites, users will notice the Deflame icon in the address bar. By clicking on the icon, users can easily indicate their stance on each comment, facilitating a more nuanced and interactive discussion environment. Additionally, users can remove ignored comments and generate a table summarizing agreements and disagreements, offering a clearer overview of the conversation dynamics.
