Thumbs Down

A hand with the thumb extended downward.

The 👎 Thumbs Down emoji is used to express disapproval, disagreement, or criticism. It’s often dropped in response to bad news, unpopular opinions, or content someone finds unhelpful or disappointing.

While it can be used playfully in friend groups to roast someone or jokingly reject an idea, it also holds strong weight in more serious discussions, reviews, or feedback threads. It’s the digital equivalent of booing or saying “no thanks.”
