xXemokidforeverXx @lemmy.world 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.

11 0 ReplyTheOneAndOnly @lemm.ee 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.

"Whatever." Just depends on the context.

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

20 2 ReplyxXemokidforeverXx @lemmy.world I've always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What's wrong with that?

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

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

6 1 ReplyCodingSquirrel @kbin.social 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
