Good day all, this is the Angry Systems Administrator. It’s been a while, but a new \u201cthing\u201d is apparently coming to Facebook. They are finally going to bow to the inevitable and create a \u201cDislike\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The need for this button was seen within minutes of the \u201cLike\u201d button being implemented. However, that putz Zuckerberg, didn’t like the idea. However, after many postings with fake dislike buttons, the 2 x 4 has finally connected with his head and the light has come on. Here are the details from Fox News:<\/p>\n

Facebook is going beyond the \u201clike\u201d button, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday. The social network is working on something akin to a \u201cdislike\u201d button, Mr. Zuckerberg said during a wide-ranging Q&A at Facebook\u2019s headquarters that was streamed online. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"snoopy-happy-dance.jpeg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But it won\u2019t be simple. Zuckerberg said Facebook wants to limit use of the button to expressing sympathy when someone posts something sad or upsetting. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"headdesk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I knew it was to good to be true.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg said it was a surprisingly complicated task to build the button. But the company has an idea that it will soon begin testing.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How hard can it be? A few lines of code, a couple of columns in a database and voila! You can show people that you think they are idiots. Of course, they have an excuse besides \u201cProgramming is hard!\u201d<\/p>\n

Facebook has been asked about a dislike button for many years, but the company didn\u2019t want to just give users an easy way to criticize a Facebook status.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh no! We mustn’t do anything that might hurt some poor sensitive liberal type person’s fweeling now, can we? Why they might break down and cry!<\/p>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x_8YTa_-hZw’]<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg said Facebook has found that users don\u2019t want to vote down others, but would like to express support when someone shares something sad, such as news about a family member dying or an article about the refugee crisis.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"bullshit-meter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they really want is an ability to express empathy,” Zuckerberg. \u201cIf you\u2019re expressing something sad\u2026 it may not feel comfortable to \u2018like\u2019 that post, but your friends and people want to be able to express that they understand.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"head_up_ass\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What an utter load of garbage. That isn’t a \u201cDislike\u201d that’s a \u201cFeeling so sad that your vegan dinner wasn’t appreciated by the Hells Angels motorcycle and Texas BBQ club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ductape<\/a><\/p>\n

When I disapprove of something, I want a quick way to show it. The problem is that Zuckerberg and the other moonbats who run Faceplant are terrified that people will start hammering all the moonbat’s idiotic postings, not to mention the 80 gazillion cat pictures.<\/p>\n

\"suck<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no doubt that people will try to use this button to express exactly what they think of some idiot’s posting. I also expect that many people will hit the Anger Central Faceplant fan page with loads of \u201cI pushed this button because I’m sad that people are angry\u201d dislikes. Fine we say. Any feedback is good feedback. It means that people are actually reading the site.<\/p>\n

\"Brain<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing is going to bother me, and that’s explaining to His Nibs that he probably won’t be able to slam the Obama facebook page with thousands of \u201cI hate this dirtbag\u201d button pushes. We shall see what comes of it. Personally, I’m not expecting anything to come of this once people start sending Zuckerberg thousands of dislikes per second.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n
