    Why do people have an issue with woo being a negative comment? Hey not everybody says intelligent things, some people say mean things or just things that aren't agreeable. There is nothing wrong with a reaction of, no, I don't like that. Or no, I don't agree with that. When did everybody become so sensitive that we had to make everything rainbows and puppies to get through the day? I'm not saying bash anybody, and definitely not for bashing somebody's picture......I'm just saying so what if woo means hell no I don't think so......I think having comment words of nothing but kiss *kitten* is fraudulent and a kin to participation trophies.

    While I love rainbows and puppies...... I agree with all of this.

    I have tried finding a proper hug gif on the interwebs for this but they all fall short.

    Completely agree, and not sure anyone (who's replied so far) has actually got a problem with it tbh. I just wanted to know whether the woo is good or bad...

    Actually a moderator a few months ago said it was meant to be a "disagree" comment. Or to our friends in the UK, a "not bloody likely" comment.

    I remember reading that.....
    But I am part of a group that collectively decided to make it a good thing.
    And I know other people who use it as a "woohoo" good thing.
    So whatever.....

    At this point, like @CoffeeAndContour said, I will just take them all as positive, cuz I like rainbows.

    In our community Woo means that you think an idea or approach is too good to be true
    .
    From https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10570889/new-community-reaction-woo#latest

    It is not a positive reaction to a post and does not mean I agree, great, awesome, nice, way to go.
    There are many threads about the confusion.
    I don't have a problem with a negative reaction but do not use woo because of the confusion.

    Someone please clarify my confusion - is the 'Woo' interaction button a good or bad thing!?!

    A woo is always good. It is both a badge of courage to say the things that should not be said, and to offend the offendable. Woo count is the true street creed of MFP.

    I didn't know MFP had a creed. And if it did, I would have thought it would be more along the lines of, "Thou shalt do no shame."
