Awesome vs Hug
I'm not a fan of them replacing the Awesome button with Hug. They said they would replace the like button. How am I supposed to know how awesome I am? When do I use the hug button? Is it like the woo button and means many different things?

Will I just start off by saying you're awesome now - would that help ?2

How am I supposed to know if the puppy or kitten pictures I post are awesome? There is a fine line between liking a meme and awesoming it.5

Your ratio was low anyway...you definitely need the hugs
I was working on it but now my plans are all messed up.0 -
It's stupid. I know people do the :hugs: thing a lot, but that doesn't mean you replace awesome with it. Bs4

On the bright side, you have a lifetime supply of hugs now!5

The Woo button is good or bad? This is how the browser shows it. Since it's smaller on the screen it looks similar to the Inspiring button.

Also, is that emoji confused? Is it confused about it's Woo? It seems as confused about Woo as we are on how to use it.1

I think Woo guy is thinking with those shifty eyes "ummmm, what did you just say?"1
-
I think they should replace insane woo with a crack pipe emoji. And *kitten* “hug.” That’s idiotic. Maybe a subtle silhouette of dogs humping instead for a “dog penetration” reaction.3

They could have gotten rid of the inspiring button. No one uses that *kitten*.11

That's the only one I use, so you know that I liked your post and I'm not just a sheep awesoming a post because it has 100 awesomes.0 -

I would’ve awesomed this, but had to settle for like. MFP is stifling my exuberance!3 -
I am so confused...is hug supposed to be a sympathetic reaction, like "hugs I wish I could comfort you"? Or is it "love" because there is a heart and they took away awesome? Or "I want to hug you because you're so awesome"?

i was gonna woo this as me agreeing but now what?
Woo now is challenging someone to a duel. Hug means you wanna piece “o that”. It’s all so confusing.
yes and i am lost what am i suppose to use when i run out of stuff to respond to?
Post a selfie I think
but what if my hair is mess up?
Take shower, fix hair, pick out snazziest outfit, take 73 selfies, decide on selfie #58, apply some filter, say kitty cat ears then you're ready.3 -
