A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

      I don’t agree, /s is immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.

      Also, really often something that is “obvious sarcasm” for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet

        Maybe internet forums aren’t the best place for people that can’t recognize context.

              No but they’re here (and we should be being as inclusive as possible if we want Lemmy to be successful), so it makes no sense to shut the doors on them just because a couple of people don’t like seeing /s .

                    First off, you’re commenting on a conversation from over a month ago.
                    Second, no I have no ill feelings towards anyone at all.
                    Third, yes I do prefer to surround myself with people I can relate to, just like every one else in the world does.

                    Welcome to lemmy by the way, I hope you enjoy it.
                    Try to not be so negative here.

          Just because you don’t care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn’t mean that they should be excluded from here.

      Sadly, I understand your point, but feel that I need to remind you of Poe’s Law. I think the /s is required because shit is all too real
