Used in comments where the built-in reactions aren't enough — signals 'this is beyond a simple reaction.'

comment use

Dropped under news articles, group posts, or status updates that contain misinformation, bad decisions, or embarrassing oversharing.

Older users may interpret it as genuine frustration or distress rather than comedic exasperation — context sometimes lost across generations.

group use
