I’m not talking about #metoo stuff.

Assuming we’re using a sane IM app that lets us use standard emoji as a reaction to a comment.

I just mean when someone tells you that they did something and the only information that you want to convey back is that you followed them and did the same.

More concrete example that i encounter few times a week: my pal tells me he’s reserved the gym slot at 17:00, so I reserve that time too and i just want to reply “me too” to let him know it worked for me. (The way it works between us is that we want to go together but since he’s got family etc. i always let him pick the time first and just announce his slot reservation, and i just want to confirm it.)

Another example is if someone says “i signed this petition to support our Czech president who is protecting our democracy” then I want to say “yes I did it too”. Just a nod that we’re standing on the same side.

(Come to think about it, it could technically be used in a #metoo adjacent context, like, if a friend told me “i was abused by my boss” and i could just use the emoji but that would be sooooo wrong on so many levels… You get the point.)

    i mean if it was something like flight reservation etc. then screenshot would be definitely in place.

    this is something we do literally 2 times a week (and plan to do so until we’re able to go to the gym :D) though, and it’s pretty low stakes.

    i’m not looking for something that just works in that kind of context. (and in general, actually it’s not like i’m on lemmy looking to resolve things with my pal :D)
