Index Pointing Up: Light Skin Tone on Facebook

What it signals here

reaction meaning

Used in comments to agree with a previous comment or to reference something said earlier in the thread.

comment use

Older users use it genuinely to say 'number one point' or 'most important thing to remember.' Rarely ironic on Facebook.

boomer interpretation

Often interpreted literally as 'pay attention to this above' or 'first and most important.' Used earnestly in motivational shares.

group use

Moderators and admins drop it to point to pinned rules or announcements, or members use it to echo the admin's point.
