It “is” (was) to pay respects, that’s the true origin and purpose.
But many people here didn’t know that, thought it was to “follow”, and the amount of users doing that has surpassed the ones who know what it was really meant for
Now everyone else knows to hit the kebab and all the other Fs will be legit. You’re welcome. 👍
People thinking "F = follow" is the most boomer thing I've seen in a while.
To be fair, enough people using a word or term in a different way actually is equivalent to shift its definition (at least in a particular space).
Reminds me of my mother in law who thought lol was “lots of love” - and proceeded to show respects to friends losing loved ones with “lol x”
They say F cuz they mean Following. For the longest time I also thought it meant F to pay respects lmao
Most do that here to follow, but as a result of a widespread misunderstanding of its original meaning, which was indeed to pay respects
F = Following. Ideally this can be done with the kebab menu as well.
It is a hamburger menu if it is 3 horizontal lines. 3 vertical dots is kabab menu.
I cry a bit every time someone uses it to follow a thread here or on Facebook when there’s a menu option to subscribe/follow a thread.

It’s always Deloitte.
Clearly none of you have heard the phrase “F in the chat.” Idk anyone who uses F for following. OP is correct and it means to pay respects.
Ex) male friend has crush on a girl. Female friend looks at him after he’s done something nice for her and she says “aww you’re so cute. I love you like a brother.” People would then type “F” in the comments because our brother/comrade has fallen into the friendzone.

my deepest respect fellow fish
Why don’t people click the right hand corner and subscribe to post? People who type a comment with F should be banned for 24 hours. Cue the 100 responses typing F here. Better than reading about bonuses I guess.
F
Its always been to pay respects. Sometimes because the thread is dead. People who do it to indicate following just misunderstood the original meaning
