Like others have mentioned, a thumbs-down reaction is a necessary complement to thumbs-up. A few times today, a team member posed a question that would benefit from affirmative "not me" answers to be sure the question was understood and answered, be it with a yes or no. Instead, there are a few thumbs up followed by a series of "No," "Nope," and "I don't" messages filling up the screen.

There is a thumbsup reaction which in general indicates a "positive" feedback. Something for a "negative" feedback is also needed.
An example everyday use:
At the end of our morning chat I ask my team "Does anyone want to add anything?". When they don't have anything to add, they want to react with a thumbsdown, meaning "No I don't have anything to add", but there is no thumbsdown reaction.
Instead they either reply with a "No" message which is a low information clutter message (something reactions are built to overcome) or they just keep silent which is confusing.

Please also add this to Live Events. Our attendees want to be able to down vote a question they don't agree with.

Be nice to ask a series of questions and get a thumbs up or down on the message bubble for each one.

This a a no-brainer.
If you have thumbs up, you have thumbs down.

100% agree! A thumbs down is also a good way for a quick "yes/no" polling system.

Our colleagues need to be able to upvote or downvote any individual chat item / idea / software feature idea / lunch location, etc, like in other advanced social/tech platforms. These should probably be added as an option to turn on via Settings, and should be implemented such that downvoters of a 'floated idea' need to give a reason for the downvote.

Why not react with all the available emoticons?
