Evidently so...

Why?

Might be that many folk might be like me,
The Like - was just to say you read the comment,
but that was all.

React - would be more emotional ?

Like I said be, lots of new bells and whistles.
Improving communication on the Internet ?
Good Day

[Forsoothe!]

I "Like" posts that I agree with, as in, "I second the motion."

 

[thomas22]

Maybe like was to offensive to the people who didn't get likes.

 

[Starfox]

Why?

For the making of poorly photoshopped, obscure facebook meme polls presumably.



I'm ok with it but angry react could cause problems, #camp may be needed/
Beer react would be better.

Why?

No reason

When I update the software, I read the feature notes and if there is nothing that outrageous, I overwrite all the files. If I need to go back into the software and "fix" something, it is always an option after all of the software is updated. Believe it or not, the core update this round was over 4500 files - and that was before I updated the media gallery, the resources archive, and all the add-ons. People may have the perception that I am sitting around hand coding all of this stuff, but I'm not There is an entire company of people who maintain this software, and they are always changing things based on what the majority of users want. I can customize stuff... but I have to be cautious about too much customization because it all requires maintenance, and there is always the chance that I will introduce gremlins into the system.

If people hate the new "post reaction" system, I can always switch it back. The default will always be "like" - though you now have a drop down menu to add a few other reactions.

As it is, I can see lots of times when an appropriate response would be "sad" or "angry" without it being a negative.

I can see where some of them might come in handy.
