Twitter users are FURIOUS about the demise of the ‘favourite star’
You won’t be able to “favourite” things on twitter any more — you’ll have “like” things using “hearts” instead.
Twitter explained that it wanted to make the service “easier and more rewarding to use”.
But many Twitter users are FURIOUS! Some are PISSING NAPALM.

Re: faves, I don’t mind the heart replacing the star, so long as they introduce a steaming shit sign for tweets you DON’T like.

I won't be happy until they turn the heart into a picture of someone being sick into a horses' face.

If you want to be miserable about it, just turn your phone upside down and the heart button becomes an arse.

I'm an adult male. I don't want to click on hearts any more than I'd want to use them to dot a letter "i".

NO. TWITTER SHOULD NOT HAVE LIKES. OR HEARTS. MAYBE A BUTTON THAT JUST MAKES THE OTHER PERSON'S PHONE SCREAM AT THEM, BUT NO HEARTS.

OK, the heart thing is arguably worth it just to watch Twitter completely lose its shit.

Twitter is trying so hard to be Facebook it's about to show you 1000 babies, slam immigrants and link to a buzzfeed article from 5 years ago

How the hell do we politely end a conversation now?

I just wish Twitter would announce an 'I don't give a fuck' button.

Don't see the new "like" button as a heart. See it as an upside down pair of balls

Twitter has changed something. It is utterly intolerable and will ruin everything, until we get used to it in a few days.

As well as the new ‘like’ button, I’d like these ones: Tedious Stolen Thirsty I’m pandering to your esteem issues RELEASE THE ANGRY BEES

RT button to be replaced by little picture of a bowel

Twitter should have a Calypso button that just plays Calypso music whenever you want to hear some Calypso music. And a hedgehog button.

Next up on Twitter, a new function whereby you can read the mangled, racist musings of schoolmates you haven't seen for 30 years.

I hate the fact Twitter has changed the name of something. I’m off to eat a Snickers and some Starburst.

#protip If you don't like the Twitter hearts, go into Settings, then Account, then click 'Deactivate your account' & they'll disappear!
