Depends on the context. For instance I have tomatoes growing in a pot on my balcony… I might say, “I put some tomatoes in the salad” or “…in my sandwich” and we’d both know I meant raw. Or I might say “this curry has tomatoes in it” and they’re obviously cooked. Even if I said they were fresh tomatoes from my garden. Unless I was offering chopped tomatoes as a condiment for the hot curry, then they’d be raw.
The people in the comment thread were just trying to make it clear they have an objection to raw tomatoes but not cooked ones, that’s why they specified.

Fresh tomatoes makes a lot more sense to me than “raw”
Okay, but what about fresh tomatoes freshly cooked? Or raw tomatoes that have sat in the fridge for a week?
No criticism intended, btw, all along this conversation, friend.
Second one would just be regular tomatoes to me. First one would be cooked tomatoes.
