I read somewhere that he "Like" button needs to have an equivalent "silent disapproval stare" button.

That could be an interesting concept for some social networks to try, maybe with some limitation of social circle? I.e. it's a stronger signal if "X of your friends/people you follow/... disapprove" than "X0,000 strangers disapprove", which is a problem with more typical downvote features? Doesn't help for people totally in an echo chamber, but at least for some?

that would be hilarious if downvoted comments became literally smaller font

Doesn't HN basically do that, with downvoted comments slowly fading away until they are illegible?
