Facebook Comes Up With Alternate Dislike Buttons!


Hi! Many of you while using Facebook must have wished for a 'Dislike' button after encountering a post that you don't like. Many of you must have also faced a situation when you are confused whether you should like the post or not. Many of you have also voiced about this confusion in the social platform. Guess what? Your prayers have been heard. 




Mark Zuckerberg in his recent post has said that, 
"For many years though, people have asked us to add a dislike button. Not every moment is a good moment, and sometimes you just want a way to express empathy. These are important moments where you need the power to share more than ever, and a Like might not be the best way to express yourself.'
Facebook has come up with more expressive buttons for the users of Facebook. Today Facebook is launching the test of Reactions- a more expressive like buttons. You must be thinking, what took it so long to introduce the dislike button. Well, I would like to inform you that there is no 'Dislike' button, Facebook has come up with more wonderful way of expressing your emotions in this social platform. Instead of a dislike button, Facebook has come up with buttons that can show the following reactions : Like, Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad and Angry. 
Mark Zuckerberg has also explained very nicely why he has not added a dislike button in Facebook. He posted that, "We've spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to give you better options for expressing yourself, while keeping the experience simple and respectful. Reactions give you new way to express love, awe, humor and sadness. It's not a dislike button, but it does give you the power to express sorrow and empathy-- in addition to delight and warmth."

In short, Facebook doesn't want to hurt the feelings or emotions of any individual, and therefore as a favor, it is gifting the users, other alternative buttons. The test Reaction will currently operate in Ireland and Spain, which means that users in other parts of world will have to wait a bit longer to experience the change. 
How many of you actually like this fact?
