Popular Post Jingthing Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've noticed that some people are using "Ha Ha" to express dislike. It's obvious in context. If a post is funny, a "Ha Ha" shows appreciation. If a post is more sincere and serious, a "Ha Ha" shows derision. As there is no explicit Dislike option available, people are using it in the same way. One "funny" thing about this is that a "Ha Ha" just shows as a generic Like on the android app. So the intended message (derision) is reversed. Ha ha indeed! So, as per the headline, SCANDALOUS or RIDICULOUS? Discuss. 1 1 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see it as either, I use it as my reaction to the post as my reply the same as the 'sad' or others however that reaction is taken is not my concern. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you brought up sad. I used to use sad before to express empathy with the content of the post if the post was expressing something dark and unfortunate, etc. But then realized it could also easily be taken as a hate-like, depending. So I've stopped using it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have a person sorta trolling me....he mostly gives me a "confused" icon. I sometimes feel like asking him if it is wise to be broadcasting all over the Internet how slow he is on the uptake....but I never do for fear of hurting his feelings? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is often used to prevent misunderstanding, I think, because written communication --such as here-- does not allow for people to check for understanding of read into other cues (intonation, facial,...).

Popular Post shy coconut Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 If you mean the emoji things beneath each post, then I generally use it derisively in response to a generic "everything is awful in Thailand" type post. Sometimes I find a post genuinely funny then I will use the haha button. The sad emoji I reserve for the retards (can I say that?) Who in response to a tragic news item (like the young mother of 3 killed by her husband up in Ubon) gossip like old ladies about the age difference, the fact that they live in Pattaya, hence she was a bar girl with loads of bits on the the side etc etc without any details supporting these statements. These posters are, well, sad. So, if anyone gives a fig.... If I reply to a rant with a haha, I am mocking you. If I reply to a victim bashing/ prejudist post with a sad face , the I think that you are sad. Here endeth my rant, all emojis welcome, I have thick skin! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Ha Ha is more clear though when you're laughing at a point made seriously. Sad could easily mean the content of the post is sad, without dissing the member. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
