    Perhaps it is just me. But I thumbs up requests to review stuff all the time. It has never meant “I reviewed that and agree”

    I consider it as assent to do the thing they asked me to do. Which seems like it was ‘review this’.

    I guess it is time to change. Maybe an alias from “:thumbs up:” to “I will take a look!” is in order.

      It’s a yes basically.

      Q: “Can you review this?”. A: “yes [I can]”.

      Q: “have you reviewed this?” A: "yes [I have]”.

      But having to explain to coworkers that Y means yes and N means no, don’t leave any room for misinterpretation.

      “On it” or “checking” is my acknowledgement.

      👍is my approval.
