Do you interpret a 👍 as a rude reply? (leminal.space)

Every time somebody sends me a thumb I take it as "whatever you say you fucking dumbass" and it pisses me off.

And ya, I'm aware that that the replies are going to be thumbs, let's see em ya jerks!!!

For message received, I use the press and hold emoji reactions, "tapbacks" I think they're called.

For some reason I associate an actual "👍🏼" text as being less nice? Because now you took the time to open your keyboard and find the thumbs up. Like equivalent to texting "K." Lol

Ya, a react like sure that's fine, but a response, I just always think like if I said something to you in real life and you just replied 👍... that's rude as fuck lol
