It’s one of my pet peeves as well, I’m one of the people that if I read a post I try to reply to it as soon as possible, balanced communication is a form of respect between two parties. While this doesn’t mean you need to respond to the post immediately, reading the post and then choosing not to reply to it or delaying it till you forget to, in my opinion is disrespectful to the person who sent you the message
This is my wife’s biggest trigger, people not responding to texts, for some reason it will lodge in her brain all day when her friends do this.
But what if the text doesn’t need a response?

Then you have to respond to that-
It just feels so brusque and dismissive.
an emote or shorthand message suffices fine for one off messages that don’t need to have an actual response I’ve found.
message: “I’m home now”
reply: 👍 or 👀 or even a “nice!”
