When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.

Boss said I can’t work from home anymore. I simply replied πŸ‘

[-] TheOneAndOnly@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Right? I've been using it to mean, "acknowledged", for years now. My kids told me just the other day that their group does not, and that they have to remind themselves I'm not being sarcastic when I send it. I have reached "that" age, it would appear.

[-] variants@possumpat.io 5 points 1 year ago

what other meaning could it have?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 9 points 1 year ago

lol when I read your comment in my inbox I had to stop and think what could I have said for this response

Haha yeah that would have been a crazy one with no context

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Whatever." Just depends on the context.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The only way I see it as being negative is to look at it like the "yeah, okay" Jennifer Lawrence meme.

I don't care all that much. Sometimes a thumbs up is the way to acknowledge you heard them.

[-] 30isthenew29@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sometimes people see things the way they want to see them. Not your fault.

First link I get an add and immidiately close. Second link I get an message that the video has failed.

There is a message in this somewhere about the state of the Internet that I can't quite articulate.

[-] ClarkDoom@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

The people that use it this way ruin it for everyone else.

[-] Zapp@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

If you were on the Internet before emojis took off, the single letter "k" had the same energy.

[-] emokidforever@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I've always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What's wrong with that?

[-] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Wait it did? I used it all the time, because it was shorter than "ok".

[-] Aagje_D_Vogel@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago
[-] AveragePotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I know. One of the reason why my entire friend circle finds it offensive.

[-] Zapp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Lest we forget the true conversation stopper...

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Still counts as a contract agreement

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 9 points 1 year ago

Idk I hate when people get non obvious.

[-] SapienSRC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

One of the few times I can actually sense sarcasm/passive aggression via 'text'

[-] 30isthenew29@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is apparent in the right context.

[-] Bak@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How boomers vs zoomers see it

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

the "heavy checkmark" is my "fuck you checkmark"

[-] 30isthenew29@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Especially a good one to say to your boss.

I can't explain it, but it's the boomerest emoji.
