Time for a new reaction emoji? 😲

[person0]

A few minutes ago I found myself wanting to react to a post with an 'astonished' face.😲  Sadly, the best alternative was the thumbs up / like button (😲), because when I clicked, I noticed an astonished reaction wasn't there! 😲 I have grown accustomed to using it in other messaging tools and am shocked (😲) that I have made it this far without begging for it! 

@pam, what do you think?  Would you be willing to give us this new reaction option?

I'm shocked. 😲 Shocked, I tell you. And also appalled. And outraged. I'm outraged. 😲 Behold the outrage upon my visage

I'm not a fan of the reaction options either.

But I'm a huge fan of the hundreds and hundreds of in-message options.

I am NOT a fan. I hate emojis. They're stupid. They're reductive. They're twee. They do not encourage expressiveness, but the opposite. Sadly, I'm in a distinct minority. Emojis appear to be the wave of the present as well as the visible future. Bleah. 💩

But I do agree with person0's desire for other reaction options, especially "astonished" or "surprised".

I’m just glad they haven't shut TH down yet. The reactions are frosting on a cake.

No, really.  Tell us how you really feel.

My final emoji says it all. That's why emojis are soooooo awesome!

Sorry, this thread was the only one I could find of light enough hearted nature.
