- upvote context
- Comments containing this emoji receive upvotes when they are the perfect reaction to an OP who is clearly the problem in their own story.
- community use
- Used across subreddits as a reaction to obvious misinformation, AITA posts where the answer is clear, or wildly bad advice.
- subreddit meaning
- Heavily used in r/facepalm (the subreddit itself), r/mildlyinfuriating, r/AmItheAsshole, and r/tifu as a fitting summary reaction.
- karma context
- A comment that's just this emoji with no other text can still earn karma if the post it replies to is sufficiently absurd.
