What's going on at Facebook? Perhaps it's just an innocuous device to get people talking or to test if anyone notices, but I think it's very strange to have 2 different ways of displaying the most important emoji (the one used to signify a "like") and to have a right/left distinction (which is so meaningful in political analysis). I feel actively lured in conspiracy thinking, which isn't my thing at all, except as a joke, for idle fun.

Well, its not as if social media platforms have a bias or would track whether posters are left or right-wing, is it........?
I'm right-handed on FB. Another data point for the politics theory. We need Pee-Pee Ritmo to weigh in.
Perhaps FB is accessing your mouse/pointer set up? Though that doesn't apply on phones and tablets. Strange.
Screw Facebook. Kinda disappointed that you didn't leave us with a cafe, yesterday. That might be a first, or first in a long time.
They're halfway to replacing up thumb and down thumb with a left hand up thumb and a right hand up thumb. It makes it friendly.
The right hand emoji gives the direction of the magnetic field (fingers) if the thumb points in the direction of the positive electric current.
The left hand emoji means writes like a girl.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Morse code (so far) doesn't have an international convention for emojis. You could send OS 6T YA for :-) however. The letter pairs sent as one letter. OS 6T YE for :-(
I suspect it has something to do with quantum entanglement.
rhhardin,
you should just train people to read unicode,
then they could just key U+1F642 for :-)
or they could key U+1F641 for :-(
I mean, hams Know Unicode, don't they? or are y'all still stuck on ascii?

There's a worthy goal for you in the next year!
Let's wait for the right- and left-handed versions of the middle-finger emoji.

My thought as well.
Who cares?! The real question is when are they going to give us what Facebook sorely needs in this era of political lunacy? A middle finger emoji!
The right-handed thumbs up is also giving the viewer the back of the hand (smack), while the left-handed thumbs up is also giving the viewer the finger(s).
Subtle jab with respect to the right and left.
My Apple iPhone emoji is a left-handed thumbs up 👍. For thumbs-down, it is right-handed👎.
Scary!
> hams Know Unicode
Every code point, I'm sure.
I'm still suffering from the idea that the "prayer" emoji on my iPhone is really a "high five" symbol. Please tell me this is not true.
THEOLDMAN
🖕is an existing emoji in Apple.
The different emojis seen on different devices (not just the thumbs-up but pretty much all of them) are not caused by Facebook, but rather by the operating system.
When you type the 👍 emoji in Facebook, Facebook does not actually draw a graphic there for you, it just inserts the code point for the thumbs-up symbol, which happens to be U+1F44D. It is up to whatever software you have installed on your device how that gets rendered.
Apple vs default FB emoji. Samsung also shows fingers, but it's a right-hand emoji.
Compare
My emoji is 🖕
Which way is the current going?
🤦♂️
Damn you, rhhardin!!
There's something sinister afoot. And at hand.
“When you type the 👍 emoji in Facebook, Facebook does not actually draw a graphic there for you, it just inserts the code point for the thumbs-up symbol, which happens to be U+1F44D. It is up to whatever software you have installed on your device how that gets rendered.”
We’re talking only about the imade that appears when you click on the “like” that is under every post. Some people see a left hand, for all the likes and some see a right hand. It not about inseryour choice of code.
But I think I see what you mean. John may be using a different browser.
What's Facebook? Just kidding, I know what Facebook is. Pretty sure.
ok, new and in your face, YETI COMES IN - LONG RELIEF try not to laugh. Facebook. Literally, wut.

There's symmetry issue here. The second icon 👎 is the first rotated through 180 degrees 👍. But that isn't what left and right hand mean in terms of human hands because there is a mirror effect as well as right and left. If you put your hands together, thumbs up with the knuckles touching, you'll see right and left hand thumbs up. If you turn your thumbs down you get right and left hand thumbs down but you are looking at the back of your hands. Supposedly that first icon 👍 is the front of the left hand. So if the second icon 👎 is the front of the right hand then the only way you could see that is if you're looking at the right hand in a mirror.
Politically I couldn't say what this means. Your left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing?
In terms of image, I'm saying that those hands are rotate plus flip and so they are not symmetrical hands.
Wildswan: our arms have more than one axis of rotation
Whatever they say, it lefty conspiracy mind fucking the normals.
The thumbs up emoji is wrong no matter how you look at it. You would almost certainly NEVER see the gesture like this �� IRL.
When you give a thumbs up to someone, you either aim your fist at him forward with the thumb up, or you go cross-body, with the back of your hand facing him, not the fingers and palm. Nobody makes that gesture with the hand out to the side of the body, which is the only way it would look like this ��, and that would the left hand, because it's seen facing the person gesturing.
I think they accidentally got the thumbs down emoji right. That one is done crossed in front of the torso IRL, and would look like this as you see someone doing it �� right handed, but it wouldn't look like that to you while making it yourself, no matter which hand you use. You probably wouldn't even look at it while doing it, anyway.
What happened to my emojis!?
When I used to hitch bike my right thumb was up and my fingers could be seen by my (hopefully) benefactor.
