❤ What "Reactions" would you like to see on SW? And how would you show Disapproval? 😥
[b]We have plans to implement Reactions/Emotions to Posts (and possibly Comments) on SW.[/b]
Not always will you have something to write (comment) about a post, and you may find it easier at times to leave some feedback by using our Reaction feature.
The list of options may include such emoji: ❤ 👍 😄 😢 😯 🤣 😥 😡
This list is meant to allow users be able to express their feelings toward a post or topic, in all major ways of human expression.
We recently posted today asking for feedback on the same topic, more specifically, feedback on the inclusion of a Thumbs Down/Dislike reaction: 👎
As it is one reaction of many, it would tend not to stand out that strongly, as for example with sites who only allow two options: Like / Dislike
However, we understand that many would prefer not to have such an option at all on SW, as it may potentially be used to harass others, and can leave negative feelings.
At the same time, we are wondering if members will be ok with excluding a way to express dislike on a topic/post.

[b][u]An example for better illustration:[/u][/b]
Someone makes such a post:
[quote]I like seeing other women while my girlfriend is away 😉[/quote]
[b]How would you want to "React" to such a post?
Would any of the other reaction options be sufficient?
or can you suggest for us a reaction option that would be suitable?
Or is it better not to have any option to react in dislike of a post?
[u]Also, specifically guys:[/u] What sort of emoji/reaction would be suitable for you?[/b]
I understand that it "feels easier" for women to react to posts with: 😢 😡
While men may feel more apprehensive in using very expressive/emotional gestures.
We would genuinely like to know, as we want to make SW as convenient as possible to members, while we understand the stigma around having a "Dislike" option.
Here is our previous post, with poll, on the topic:
