Anyone remember YouTube Reactions? Died because no one used them. Hell, even BuzzFeed , the pioneer of reaction culture, implemented Reactions but are slowly depreciating them.
They worked well on Path and Slack

Policy? Maybe not, but the apparent lack of downvote buttons seem to indicate that the ethos of "discussion over downvotes" is on the mark.
Innovation by some of the world's better engineers.
I have just been reading the front page Reddit thread, where soldiers are talking about the pointlessness of the Afghan War (can't believe its been 14 years) and the difficulty of coming back home and dealing with first world problems. And then I see this Facebook stuff at the top of all the tech news...sigh...how did we get here? I have no idea.

The problem is that you can't aggregate them. 1 Like and 4 dislikes = "20% like this". What are you going to do with a bunch of faces to show consensus? And which of those faces am I supposed to use to say this post is filled with misinformation and you shouldn't be spreading it ... Angry? Sad?
Why can't you just have a generic face and a series of mutations for each of the reactions, and then average among the mutations? It wouldn't really work, but it might be one of those features that drives more engagement because it's "unintentionally" funny.

To be fair -- the hat tip should probably go to Path.
No. Slack has innovated literally every advancement in chat for the last 20 years.
I look forward to Facebook Actions. Instead of just poking imagine what else you can do..
People wanted a dislike button, got a series of redundant emoticons with very little space for actual disagreement. Which is actually good, because it won't transform Facebook into a mess of flames and negativity. Wait, maybe it's already too late for that...

For disagreement, write a comment explaining /why/ you disagree. (It's similar to HN's policy* of "prefer discussion to downvotes") * EDIT: I mean culture; as in I've seen it mentioned a lot by users of the site, though it's not in the rules
