Laugh reaction disappeared?

Hi so I reported my own post earlier (as per your instructions on this) because someone (obviously not me on my own post) had used a nasty mocking "laugh" emoji on my serious post. I even named the poster who had done it.

In the last hour, my own laugh reaction on posts has been removed. I have not used the laugh emoji to mock anyone.

Has someone mixed something up or has the laugh reaction been removed for everyone overnight? I'm hoping it's the latter because it's obviously being used to bully people and I've seen numerous threads on this before it happened to me.

It was always going to be misused, really. It was an odd one to choose in the first place.

MNHQ confirmed a while ago that they were going to be removing the laugh reaction, precisely because people were using it maliciously
