      somebody explaining a component of the joke doesn’t mean that they didn’t get it.

      That’s an internet thing.

      You often can’t easily distinguish irony/sarcasm from stupidity, written language (i.e., no cues like tone), language barriers in general (as a non-native I might not get subtleties or might use them wrong), and the high density of people on the spectrum doesn’t exactly help.

      Understanding people is hard.
