Facebook's gone and gotten a tad more exciting since we've been given some new options when it comes to reacting to a Facebook post.
You can now 'Love' and 'Haha' a FB post as well as be 'Sad' or 'Angry' with something. If you're speechless, you can 'Wow.' And the good old traditional 'Like' is still an option.
That's not enough for people though, as they are wondering why we didn't also get a 'Dislike' button.
Mark Zuckerberg revealed why the dislike wasn't included, writing "Not every moment you want to share is happy.
"Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don't like their posts.
"People wanted to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions."
Facebook representatives have agreed with the decision, saying a dislike button would be used to bully or upset people.
Good call Facebook, good call!
