/s is an excellent modifier for sarcasm. There's no tone in text and bold/italic can only do so much. And with how many absolute crackpots are posting all over the internet, I'd prefer to be sure to not lump in a jokester with the absolute nutjobs.

Also helpful for people with trouble reading tone in text cuz of things like autism.
It wouldn't be the first time I get myself into a trouble because of that :(
...and writing tone... for the same reasons. 😬

To me it's born out of this moment: "Wait, will someone see this joke and think I'm serious? If they did they'd think I'm a psycho..."

Not a chance, I've seen quite the share of dumbass takes on here.
Yeah, I mean I made it here
Bashing denizens who decide to denote their sarcasm is as /stupid as bashing those who don't. "Oh no, now that the tone has been set the point is ruined!" Gosh, it must suck to be you, I'm genuinely sorry this is the way your brain works.

Maybe, but it seems all the people who think they are better than everyone else because they downloaded a different social media app made their way over here as well.

Lemmy is definitely heavily skewing towards early-adopters. Doesn't mean there can't be dumb early-adopter tho.
This is some solid grade A pandering. You're aware there's no karma to farm, right?

Im here though
Our brains so smooth, we slip through the cracks.
No, there’s me
All? No way. Many? Sure. That big scary "Federation" thing slows them down.

As an ex-Redditor I do /s reflexively because I assume someone will always be offended. Welcome to the Internet, I guess.
fuck em, that's what i say.
if they don't get it, sucks for them.
other tone markers I'm more likely to do tbh (/gen). some people do struggle to get certain things, and tone markers can help move communication along.
sarcasm is supposed to be a facade. you dont fkin mark it!

Well, we certainly didn't leave that signature sense of superiority behind.

/s
You've put "/s" on the post title. Now, you've seen it.
I've seen it.
On unrelated matter: are emojis allowed on lemmy?
As long as it's not every 2-3 words or as cryptic as hieroglyphs, I think decent emoji usage can be acceptable. Like everything, moderation tastes best. 🍻

Thirteen years ago I saw this same meme but it wondered if we had left all the idiots behind at Digg.
It's weird, but I just don't feel the need to as it here. I just sorta assume everyone knows I'm pretty much always being sarcastic, ironic, or both.
/s' as my sarcasm is plural.
Absolutely not, they're everywhere.
Nope, I'm here.
