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!!!
Yes, I actually do interpret it that way even though I’m pretty sure I’ve never received it with that intent. Then I think “why am I like this?” and wonder if this is part of getting old. This is actually much less of a joke than it probably sounds like.
Definitely is a rude reply. Zero effort and sarcastic.
I think depending on your generation and language you speak it can have different meanings.

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
yes 👍
I basically use it as a way to acknowledge that I saw a message but have nothing further to ask or add.
Depends on where you put the thumb I guess.
nope but my lingo interpretation is way dated and by the time I uptake something its out of fashion.
Huh? Maybe I’m strange… But sometimes I give a thumbs up emoji here on Lemmy when I agree with someones argument and have nothing more to add because I 100% agree with the content !
Never though It could be interpreted as rude :/
👍
👍
Oh wow. I thought only I had an issue with this.
👎
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

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.
