do people in your country react to imessages, messenger messages, and whatsapp messages with a heart?

people in australia do and it annoys me.

a thumbs up is perfectly adequate.

a heart is too weirdly deeply personal and loving.

a thumbs up is more casual, lighthearted, and normal.

i don't understand why literally everyone always goes for the red heart reaction.

i'm like, get the fuck off me nigga.
