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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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