What happened to the laughing face emoji response?

I am sorry if there was a thread on this already that I've not found.

The laughing face emoji private response was so good. I could use it to laugh at something funny or at something totally idiotic. Multi purpose.

Where oh where and why has it gone?

AIBU to want it back?

It was used to laugh at someone who was actively suicidal so MN pulled it.

Not true. It was a vocal contingent of not-suicidal people who couldn't cope with feeling laughed at.

Maybe just me but I cba with the reactions - you get a notification then need to click on it to take the notification away and it’s just someone agreeing with your post.

It’s not so much the reaction- it’s the notification that your post got a reaction, IYSWIM?

Over reaction of the century. You block said person from site and that´s that.

I suspect it could be seen as a bullying tactic . You see it on fb posts people goading others with the funny emoji

😂
Now I have to go to the trouble of quoting to add my laugh emoji. Hmmm

Yes, I want it back too. I also suspect that some flake got a laugh on their not funny post and their diddum feeeeelingz were hurt. Mumsnet, bring the laughing emoji back!

I think because of your latter point, people weren't happy that others were using it on their unfunny posts (to them) 🤣
