Everything has been uncovered in a question session that the creator of Facebook has held online with users. According to Mark, for several years many people have been asking for a button that will allow them to express their disagreement with the publications that we all see on our social network wall every day. Zuckerberg said “People have been asking me for it for years. Today is a special day, because yes, I want to confirm that we are working on it and we are very close to starting the tests, "he confirmed.
But don't think that this new button will be for expressing negative feelings.Nothing is further from the truth, the creator of Facebook does not want this new function to change the philosophy of its creation and is studying how to implement it without bringing that degree of negativity and conflict that it could create.
THE DON'T LIKE BUTTON ON FACEBOOK, IT WILL NOT BE AS YOU THINK:
The issue is that with this new button, you don't want to make people feel bad and fill Facebook with discussions in which you favor one side or the other. What you want to do is find a way to express our empathy with publications in which a "LIKE" would not be the most appropriate thing to click.
How many times has a friend surprised us with the news of the death of a loved one? Surely many times we have found ourselves in these situations and, the truth is, that the "LIKE" button does not do much good for these types of publications.In this regard, Mark commented « Not all moments are good moments and if you are sharing something sad, whether it is current, such as the refugee crisis, or the death of a family member, perhaps you do not feel comfortable with a 'me'. like'. So I think it's important to give people more options."
For this reason, to avoid the button is not a negative action, but a positive one, surely the I DON'T LIKE on FACEBOOK will not be a thumbs down. It is about looking for the best option to, in a way, express your support with a friend who, for example, has lost a loved one, a job, a train and you want to express, instead of the typical "I LIKE", a " I DON'T LIKE »that this happened to you.
Let's see how they do it, but at APPerlas we are already looking forward to seeing how Facebook incorporates this new button.
