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!!!
No. Your reading of it is unusual, in most contexts. It almost always means “agreement, and I have nothing of substance to add”.
It can be rude if the thing you’ve said should warrant a substantial response. Like if you wrote “my brother just died in a car wreck”, a thumbs up (or probably any emoji) would be an inappropriate response. Heavier stuff warrants whole words.
But if it’s like “Can you get cat food at the store? The kind we always get” then a thumbs up is an acceptable shorthand for "yes, I understand and commit to this request "

I’m with you but it’s a generational thing. Are you a millennial?

Just like a curt “yes” or even “yes sir” can be seen as somewhat rude in some contexts, so to can its emoji equivalent.
Generally, I do not. But I’m sure there is a scenario where it is used as a rude way to terminate a conversation.
No, I see it as friendly, but I receive them from my friends. I think if you have a doubt in the relationship already you are more likely to interpret any short reply as rude than if you are confident in what your relationship means to them.
Like ‘OK’ it depends on context, and irony can be hard to discern online.

Personally i do. Same as the 😉 wink smiley… comes across as a bit of a cunt in my opinion.
Could be because there were shitty people that would use it in condescending ways at me.
No.
