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.

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. :)
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.

👍
the "heavy checkmark" is my "fuck you checkmark"
Especially a good one to say to your boss.
One of the few times I can actually sense sarcasm/passive aggression via 'text'
It is apparent in the right context.
How boomers vs zoomers see it

Literally the only emoji one can use without looking like a 12yo
I can't explain it, but it's the boomerest emoji.
