I kind of hate this idea. I see only negativity coming from it.

I understand, as Zuckerberg states, the desire to make a button people can click in reaction to a sad or emotional post, but how about a “sympathy/empathy” button rather than “dislike”? I don’t know about you, but I think I’d feel even more uncomfortable hitting a “dislike” button on a post about a family member’s illness/death than I would hitting a “like” button (which people currently do, not because they actually “like” it, but to show sympathy….which at this point I think is pretty universally understood).

I mean, don’t get me wrong– I am SUPER excited to start disliking photos of cats.

But I think that’s exactly the problem….
