Now that MNHQ has given us a support emoji reaction can we have a laugh out loud one as well?

Not much good news, but was pleased to see that we can now "react" with a Flowers of support.

Such an important part of FWR.

But another positive would be able to tell someone they had made us laugh out loud.

So maybe have a Grin react or .... ?

Sad times, innit. That's what the flowers are for.

Any emoji can be used sarcastically and on social media you can’t always tell the intention.

Yes, please.

I never saw it used other that as amusement, I never used it other than to acknowledge someone else's joke.

A sense of humour is an important way of coping with life, and I hate that a few people have decided we mustn't display one.

I'm quite sure that anyone who used the laugh emoji in an unpleasant way can exactly the same thing with all the others.

Why let humourless bullies rule how we communicate?

We’re not allowed because some people use it sarcastically and other people feel hurt.
Not sure how you know if a laugh emoji is being used sarcastically, unless you already know your post is laughable rather than comical.

It’s just so coddling and pathetic to take away an emoji because MNHQ have deemed grown adults are not responsible enough to use it “correctly” 🙄

Pointless really though as anyone with an iPhone can insert any big mean emoji they like 😁🙄😏🤨

I wish we still had it too. If people can't handle a laughing emoji, then they really shouldn't be using the internet...

Ridiculous. I also think the support flower button could be used sarcastically! I suppose we have this emoji lol 🤣

Oh no! I just wanted a good news story.

And real life has crept into our virtual world.

Could we have a terf bunny emoji to indicate feeling non aggressively terfish?

We had that and it was taken away unfortunately because some people felt it was being used as bullying like laughing at a comment sarcastically I don't know...
