In June 2018, we're making changes to the native social capabilities in SharePoint Online

Small FYI that we appreciate informative feedback, plus take governance and change management seriously. This has been a long-term strategy change since we acquired Yammer. And as we invest in the inner loop scenarios (Microsoft Teams), outer loop scenarios (Yammer) – all bound to the same standards and user experience goals of Office 365 all up by design - we integrate SharePoint as the content service to all. We are building in more social gestures throughout the suite (likes, comments, view counts) and making is more personalized by use of the Microsoft Graph. All that said, we need at times to divest in order to move forward with more modern technology that best or better integrates now and moving forward.

Keep the feedback coming so we don't miss areas to consider and your sentiment before, during and after change.
