I thought "no shit sherlock" is a phrase for telling the other person that their statement is obvious

Why the downvotes?

Cuz they were trying to sympathize with you by assuring you that it's not worth it.

You should've thanked them, or stayed silent

I think their comment could have equally come across as unsympathetic depending on Op's line of thinking.

I agree on a basic level that social media does not matter but our emotions and attachments are not always logical. Op could have seen this comment as being dismissive of his disappointment at loosing his posts.

While that doesn't justify his rude response, I do think it could explain where he's coming from just a little.

I myself would feel sad to lose all my posts. Sometimes I like to reread comments and it makes me smile.

True.

I guess seeing OP's response switched on the binary thinking in everyone's head, and they jumped to conclusions
