Smilies when to use them?

[Matrix]

All reaction emojis are “likes”, the angry one can be used when you are angry with the news or story, not the poster. A thumbs down will be confusing because all emojis are positive likes.

Thanks for the explanation.

We don't have an "I care" emoji like a hug or a flower. In my opinion we should replace the angry emoji with a hug or flowers. If someone says "I'm in pain but some days are better than others" or "My pet died but trying to focus on the time I had with him", I don't want to leave a Like emoji nor a Sad Face. I just want to say "I'm thinking of you and I care".

The red heart is a good one to express these feelings. But on the other hand, it’s unrealistic to express our feelings accurately with several emojis, but if we make dozens of them, it can be very confusing to use and understand each of them.

I say get rid of the WOW when just replying without a message.

That can show 'wow' meaning in approval , amazing etc., or wow in disapproval etc etc
I am never sure when I see it in some posts
If I see something I don't like then I just don't reply.

I've never used the WOW emoji in a negative way...only when I'm wowed by something in amazement. But thank you for your perspective, @Mizmo because it's good to be aware of how our actions are received. I'll certainly be careful now when using it.

All of them are positive, wow is a stronger approval than the general thumbs up like.

I would have to say it depends on what it is applied to....so will just stay away from it

Didn’t want to start a thread just for this....think it will be all right here.

Senior Forum.......Thanks for adding the “ Hugs “ to the reaction icons.

In today's bleak atmosphere, one cannot get enough smileys. They are fun as will as some amusing gifs.

There are some that..........................

It's almost impossible to read every reply in every thread but I do skim and click whatever emoji I feel appropriate for the OP and replies. If a person posts more than one reply and I like or love or find them funny..I'll use emojis for each reply. Same for the replies of others in the same thread(s). Besides responding to replies when appropriate, I try to use emoji's for replies in all the threads I've started; it's the courteous thing to do IMO but sometimes I lose track of the threads/replies.
