Facebook has finally unveiled its solution to peoples calls for a dislike button in the form of six new emoji, each representing their own feeling.
Mark Zuckerberg hinted last month that his site was looking to expand the Like button, making a way for people to communicate that they were upset by news. And the site is now rolling out its solution in the form of emojis that represent Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad and Angry.
Since Dislike could be used for bullying and might make users feel bad, the site was exploring ways for people to communicate that they were upset without being explicitly negative.
Facebooks way of doing that seems to be a series of expressive reactions, rather than exactly replicating the Like button. That button is still available, but the new buttons sit alongside the regular thumbs up as extra options.As with the Like button,
users will be able to see who reacted and how.
