When I wrote to ask about the missing buttons, what they told me was “We have removed these options to reduce clutter on the site.”

I agree with Mitch and Rafael and Glen, I didn’t think the buttons were cluttering at all, and I liked the idea of being able to give per-story feedback, and I ALSO used it to tell which items I had read! Kinda frustrating now. It’s definitely NOT a better user experience here, without them.

I also want the thumbs back. I sent a question to Facebook if my thumb down indicated I didn’t want that type of feed, or if it also indicated I don’t want news from that user, but I never got an answer.

But I also found the thumbs extremely useful for marking what I had read, allowing me to quickly discover new news items.

Very disappointing, I got quite used to this feature.

I always thought those things were a little useless. How does the user interpret them? How do they interpret the statistics resulting? What am I saying I don’t like about the fact my friend just left a political group – I don’t like group stories? political groups specifically? leaving groups? news about that friend in particular?
