Every time somebody sends me a thumb I take it as “whatever you say you fucking dumbass” and it pisses me off.
And ya, I’m aware that that the replies are going to be thumbs, let’s see em ya jerks!!!
Yeah dog died gets at least 🥳 or do you fucking hate fluffy?
Yes. It frequently comes across as passive aggressive or as if the person doesn’t care.
Exactly my interpretation
If I’m going for this interpretation, then I just send the GIF.
Not … really ? Don’t think I ever seen it used in ways that could be read that way , not sure wy some one would use it like that either
Definitely is a rude reply. Zero effort and sarcastic.
I think depending on your generation and language you speak it can have different meanings.

nope but my lingo interpretation is way dated and by the time I uptake something its out of fashion.
It depends on context and conversation. I get 👍 replies to my comments at work which 80% of the time means whatever I’m about to break in the code base nobody is currently working on.
For message received, I use the press and hold emoji reactions, “tapbacks” I think they’re called.
For some reason I associate an actual “👍🏼” text as being less nice? Because now you took the time to open your keyboard and find the thumbs up. Like equivalent to texting “K.” Lol
Ya, a react like sure that’s fine, but a response, I just always think like if I said something to you in real life and you just replied 👍… that’s rude as fuck lol
It’s possible you have dealt with more than your fair share of sarcastic passive aggressive people in your life so far. Most people give a 👍🏼 as a confirmation, like “OK”. Its especially common when someone is bust, like if they’re driving or in a meeting, or trying to think.
Depends on context but generally no. I use it myself to either agree with or acknowledge messages if I don’t have anything to add. I don’t see why you should interpret it as rude if the person you’re speaking to, or people in general, have stated they don’t intend it to be rude.
This is literally my “message received” emote.
If people thought it was rude, I’d be fired by now.
Maybe you’re just that good at your job.
Be careful that people don’t think you’re contractually agreeing to something with the emoji: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/06/canada-judge-thumbs-up-emoji-sign-contract
There are workgroups at my job that use it as acknowledgement and for voting consensus as we are allowed to attend meetings camera and mic off.
Are you old?
I see that as an old people response.
Why tho? I am not old and this is fairly standard in my work place, some forums I use, messages with friends etc. Maybe it’s a culture thing but definitely not an old people thing imo. Its the easiest way to send an acknowledgment or agreement with a message without spamming the group chat and it makes it easier to count if you interpret it as votes.
Edit: I am talking about reacting to the messages directly, I don’t reply to someone with just a thumbs up emoji when I can just say Ok in most context.
👍
If I react to a message with a 👍 it’s innocuous, but if I reply to a message 👍 it’s actually me being passive aggressive like I can’t be bothered to type a real response
Yes! I just responded with something similar lol that’s exactly how I use it and how I would take it
I basically use it as a way to acknowledge that I saw a message but have nothing further to ask or add.
