Facebook Releases Button 'Dislike'

Facebook finally decided to create a button 'dislike' or do not like in the application. The existence of this new button will be right next to the 'like' or like button.

Although will be presented button 'dislike', the existence of this feature does not match the expectations of many people. This button serves as a downvote, marked with an arrow, not something more disapproved like a reverse thumb.

In addition, this new feature is only available in New Zealand and Australia. Users of other countries can not feel this feature until an unspecified time.

The introduction of the two countries appears to be a test run before scrolling on Facebook more broadly. This feature is expected to be felt by more people in the future.

Facebook said the button was to respond to rude or disrespectful comments. With the 'dislike' button, the link will not be promoted to the top of the discussion.

Thus, most 'dislike' functions like a downvote button on Reddit, open features like YouTube. Its usefulness allows people to express their dislike of comments and compensate for the positive reactions they may have.

Facebook has struggled with exactly how it integrates the dislike buttons since at least 2015. Mark Zuckerberg notes every moment is a good moment. He also said, any feature should be carefully designed to avoid negative spread or used for bullying.
