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 👍
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.

what other meaning could it have?
Ok and fuck you
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

“Whatever.” Just depends on the context.
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.
Sometimes people see things the way they want to see them. Not your fault.
👍🏻 ok there bud.
Found the Canadian. :)
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.
The people that use it this way ruin it for everyone else.
If you were on the Internet before emojis took off, the single letter “k” had the same energy.
I’ve always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What’s wrong with that?
I know. One of the reason why my entire friend circle finds it offensive.
Lest we forget the true conversation stopper…

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

Idk I hate when people get non obvious.
Still counts as a contract agreement
I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

This is fucking dumb.
This is fuck you thumb
🖕
they’re flipping themselves off though
How are they flipping themselves off if your fingers point towards yourself when doing a thumbs up?
Because their mom is standing behind the hand and so it’s flipping her off and if you flip off someone’s mom you’re flipping them off and it’s time for a donnybrook
Huh?!
👍
the “heavy checkmark” is my “fuck you checkmark”
Especially a good one to say to your boss.
