thanks for letting us know

Typical Facebook's response for any report of a post that is actually offensive, but FB doesn't take any action and gives you their standard templated response and snubbing your efforts to keep FB clean.

Joe: Yo FB, this dude just posted a porno and an offensive racist comment
FB: Thanks for letting us know about this. We looked over the comment, and though it doesn't go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it. We understand that it may still be offensive or distasteful to you.
Joe: FUCK YOU ZUCK! Don't fucking tfluk me bitch!

Thanks, Bye

The term can also be used to indicate extreme decisiveness or self-confidence. In this sense it is not antagonistic, but rather a way of injecting a greater sense of assertiveness and urgency into a statement.

Waiter: "What can I get you?"
You: "I'm gonna have the steak tartar and frites, thanks, bye'"
