Hear-no-evil Monkey on Facebook

What it signals here

reaction meaning

Used in comments to express 'I didn't need to know that' or to react humorously to oversharing posts.

comment use

Common in group chats and family groups when someone shares TMI or politically charged content that others want to avoid.

boomer interpretation

Often used more literally by older users to mean 'I cannot hear you' or 'this is too loud/overwhelming' rather than as irony.

group use

Dropped in Facebook groups when a thread goes off the rails or when moderators are clearly ignoring obvious rule-breaking.
