Facebook will begin testing a new feature allowing users
to express a range of emotions on posts in Ireland and
Spain from Friday — but there will be no “dislike”
button, the social network said.


“We are testing Reactions, an extension of the ‘like’
button, to give you more ways to share your reaction to
a Facebook post in a quick and easy way,” Facebook said
in a statement.



Users have for years pressed the world’s largest social
network to introduce a “dislike” button to complement
the existing thumbs up button, which allows users to
express their “like” for a post.


Last month Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg
said users wanted “the ability to express empathy”
because “not every moment is a good moment”.
On Friday a trial will begin in Ireland and Spain where
users can select six emotions as well as the like button
on posts.

The options for the trial are: love, yay, wow, haha, sad,
and angry, and are similar to emojis used in text
messaging.

Chris Toss, Facebook product manager, said Reactions
would give users greater ways of engaging with stories
and content.


“It’s a much broader range of human emotions you can
express,” he told the Irish national broadcaster RTE.
A spokesman had no information on the length of the
trial or when it might be extended to Facebook’s users
outside Ireland and Spain.


Toss also said the social network decided a “dislike”
button would not “add value” to the site.
“We felt by giving you a bunch of different ways of
expressing yourself and saying ‘This is how I feel about
content’ as opposed to just something that’s positive or
something that’s negative,” he said, speaking from
California.


“Liking” something on Facebook also plays a key role in
the social network’s algorithm, allowing users to see
content they regularly engage with it, and also allowing
for targeted advertising.


The new range of empathy buttons could eventually be
used for similar purposes, but not during the trial.
“If you’re coming for humorous content and you’re
saying ‘haha’ to lots of funny cat videos, down the road
we might use that to show you more cat videos, but as of
the initial test you won’t see any of that,” Toss said.
