"We have an idea that we're going to be ready to test soon, and depending on how that does, we'll roll it out more broadly," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a townhall Q&A at Facebook's headquarters on Tuesday.

He said making something so "simple" is surprisingly complicated, but after years of people demanding the option to "dislike" a Facebook post, the company is finally ready.

The company had hesitated to launch a dislike button, but it has realized that people want to "express empathy" on posts about unpleasant news. "Not every moment is a good moment," he added.
Good point.

Yeah, FB now owes Chicken a shite-ton of money for partnering on the whole "like/dislike" algorithm.

And you people always wondered why it was there...

I thought Facebook had a dislike button when it first came out?

Am I misremembering that?

ETA: just read up on it and apparently there was a thumbs up and thumbs down button back in 07.

Good. The internet needs more negativity.

SJWs are going to be triggered more often now.

This should be great for my self-esteem.

If I get all upvotes like I do here on TD, of course.
