After understanding this problem, Mark Zuckerberg & his team have finally delivered on this promise. The show runs from February 24 – February 27.

Irish social media fans look set to become guinea pigs for Facebook’s new reaction emoticon buttons. News Feed Head Adam Mosseri said that they consulted with academic sociologists to find out more regarding how human emotion works.
Last month, Mark Zuckerberg was asked if and when Facebook will bring the “dislike” button and he had said that they are working on “something”.
Toss also said the social network decided a “dislike” button would not add value to the site.
While we’d like to say we’d be using the “supportive cheer” reaction the most, the “angry” one depicts such an array of emotions – veering from shock, rage, then disappointment, that it really resonates with us personally. It isn’t a dislike button of course, but it does allow you to express empathy and sorrow apart from warmth and delight.
Today were launching a pilot test of Reactions a more expressive Like button.
For example, they’ve been watching the one word responses people use on posts to help choose the six Reactions, which explains why HaHa and Yay are high on the list. “And we’ve heard you’d like more ways to celebrate, commiserate or laugh together”.
Facebook will begin testing a new feature allowing users in Ireland and Spain to express a range of emotions on posts starting Friday – but there will be no “dislike” button, the social network said.
And while Facebook’s latest feature was rolled out to counteract the passiveness and perceived inappropriateness (i.e., “liking” a status about a tragedy) of its universal thumbs-up, Boran says it still didn’t feel appropriate to use an emoji on an update about a friend’s relationship ending.
Everyone sees the large number of posts that are on Facebook daily and we’ve wished for quite a few time that there was a dislike option.

The new reaction emojis will be available on both mobile and desktop versions and on all News Feed but Facebook doesn’t have plans yet to add them to Messenger or other Facebook-owned products, Tech Crunch reported.
