On Wednesday, Facebook surprised users by beginning a rollout of new emojis on the Like button, allowing people to use different ranges of expression (but no Dislike button). Not everyone was please! Here's what Twitter had to say:

What's the Facebook Like emoji for "I like this, but I don't LIKE LIKE it?"

I'm glad for these emojis on Facebook. Sometimes I don't "like" everything. pic.twitter.com/3VKN6RnaAV

You can now do more than just LIKE a post on Facebook. I'm sorry, but if someone dies I don't want my friends sending me crying emojis.

So far best use of @facebook emojis I've seen are @NatGeo's page. A lot of angry faces for environmental harm and surprise for cute animals

The fact that now "Like' buttons on Facebook are now Emojis just reassures me that not using Facebook is a good decision.

Facebook has changed "Likes" to "Reactions," which include "Sad" and "Angry."

I anticipate Facebook will resemble a warzone soon ...

How are people going to measure new Facebook reactions?

"We received 15 unhappy faces, 3 looks of horror, 1 smarmy smirk .. and 2 likes."
