A year ago I made a sarcastic comment which most people understood as such, except one other commenter. I took the opportunity to make the most heavy handed sarcastic response I could where I said democrats should vote for SpongeBob and we should all be more like him because he’s a hard worker.
Apparently that was the comment that needed the /s.
The real problem, in my opinion, is that when there’s so much toxicity in a network that people need the /s, the network isn’t capable of handling sarcasm anymore. At that point hate has won.
It’s hard to keep up, but I try to read like everyone is having a good time. Like hanging out with my friends. It’s a lot easier to not get heated about comments and just enjoy things. Because it can absolutely be easy to get drawn into the toxicity.
Reddit turned into nothing but toxic and “actually” replies to even the simplistic of things. And that /s was everywhere. So yeah I think you’re absolutely right.
Sarcasm is no fun if everyone get’s it and I genuinely hate /s tbh. It kinda established that you’re always serious when you don’t use it and deserves to die.
Lol and someone made a post how no on here uses /s
i will reject /s and make people think im a nazi for fun
Don’t dumb down humor just because some people aren’t capable of understanding it.

Also, go fuck yourself.
I didn’t ask for your opinion, but ok.

Telling people you’re being sarcastic makes it not funny anymore
Tell me more /s
I should add: unless that it’s so obviously sarcastic that the /s is itself the joke.
