Why do people respond to posts with “okay”?

What does that mean? Are you speechless? Confounded? Is it code for a more meaningful response you don’t have time to write?
i do it for passive aggressive reasons

It's a way to say they don't care and you're not worth their time to give you a longer reply. There's also kk or K to make it even more obvious. You're just not worth even that "O" in it.

@Elessar that’s my point right there 😆 just scroll by 🖤

@Elessar But they have to show you how much they don't care! It's like when someone declares how much they don't care xyz blocked them. 😆

No, seriously, the only people I've heard it using are my brother and his gf (yes, heard because they use it in speech) and they use it with gusto and in abundance, naturally, as how they could miss an opportunity to not adopt a way to casually use something that they know is insulting and irritating to a large part of population.

I do it when I initially gave an answer (usually it's personal info or photo), and then seconds later I think that was a stupid idea, I shouldnt do that, so I go back to edit it quickly, hoping nobody seen it. And shortest word I can think of editing it to, is ok or an emoji

It is often the response to something which is seen as a rant. It's kind of dismissive really.

@RebelFox Not exactly that, more just like don't really know what to say because it's a bit awkward. Or sometimes just kinda saying "You done losing your shit?".
RebelFox · 36-40, F
@SW-User They ignore plenty of their own shit, why not ignore mine too?
SW-User
@RebelFox Yep, that is pretty much it

O.... K?

It's probably to show their indifference
RebelFox · 36-40, F
@MartinTheFirst Ah I see, it’s important to express your lack of feeling.
