Summary of Changes

Introduce an experiment which will show a new variation of the up/down vote buttons every ~4 posts. The variation frequency is approximate - boosts and top highlights are not included in the count, for example. Also implement quiet downvotes.

Users with the experiment ON

• Posts will not be shown with the larger buttons if they:
  • have received a vote already (up or down)
  • are owned by the logged in user
• Posts (excluding boosts) that have been downvoted will not be displayed in the following feeds:
  • Newsfeed (all tabs)
  • Discovery - top
  • Discovery - for you
• Clicking "see more of this" will show a success toaster message
• Clicking "see less of this" will hide the post and replace it with a notice
• Clicking "undo" on that notice will display the post again and remove the downvote

All users - quiet downvotes

• Downvote counts are not visible
• Downvote notifications are not sent
