Forget the Facebook Dislike...Facebook is Letting ALL Emotions Out!

If you don't like the emoticon, stay outta the kitschbook . . . (sorry, I'm tired today) 

Saw that on the news today; anything but actual words, right?

I like these reaction buttons better than merely a dislike button.

We do not need any more negativity or the tearing down of others.  This will be interesting.

As long as they don't get misused it would be okay.

I am not a fan of dislike. If we don't like we just don't need to click the like button. 

Stefan-  I don't think I'm a fan of the "Dislike" button.  However, I like a "sad" emoji because it is kind of awkward when someone has bad news .  How can you "like' that. 

I find myself spending too much time on Facebook. Don't know how I will handle the new buttons.

The emojis seem like a great idea.  Sometimes someone will post a sad event.  You don't want to like it but you'd like to acknowledge it.  Emojis will work great in these instances.

Stefan Winter this is a good news! I have seen likes on posts that is sharing sad news - and I did not like that.

Not in favor of dislike - however, sometimes I do feel that way.

And as long as they limit these emoji's to few, that's fine. Do not want to cross the line....lol!

Thanks for your contribution to community - really appreciate it. (Special thanks once again for AR Referral Group on Facebook).

So true:

It is one thing for customers or clients to dislike something if you provided bad service, but a dislike button could also open up the doors for abuse from one disgruntled customer or a disgruntled former employee.

Thank you for the update.  Generally many people don't tolerate negative feedback very well.   This change makes negative feedback EZ, and so EZ that it can be a rapid emotional reaction.  May drive the use of Facebook down.

I'm in total agreement with Joe Pryor .  No need for a dislike button.....just unfollow or unfriend someone.  Or, kindly leave your comments on how or why your disagree, but not need to be harsh or rude.

A fan of words and not so much a fan of the sad faces, etc.  Be interesting how the public responds.  In this age of being brief the little smily face will most likely take the prize.

I have a lot of emotions, I doubt Facebook can catch them all. lol

Stefan: It is a slow step in the right direction. As it rolls out I am looking forward to seeing the response from the public.

I say lets just hide the post we don't like. Why do we need a dislike button. I would like to know all the reasons first before I commit.

If I dont agree I just scroll past

I thought, they were available all that time? At least,  I used them.

I dislike the Dislike button.... see what I did there?

I'll give Facebook and their myriad of researchers the benefit of a doubt that these new features will be great for us. They aren't always but most of the time they end up working alright.
