Facebook finally rolled out the new reaction buttons, which is its way of giving users other options besides just liking a status. Now if you want to show support for your friend who lost her job, got a flat tire, punched a Subway employee and stubbed her toe all in the same hour, you won't look like a d--k for digitally saying "I like that all this terrible stuff happened to you!" You can just choose one of the new animated emojis and display actual human empathy. Or, as much human empathy you can show on a social media site.
So now users can choose between five reactions: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad or Angry. And that seems like a big gift, considering all we had to work with before was a thumbs up icon. But unfortunately, people are asking—nay, yelling at, Facebook about one giant feature that's still missing.
