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

      karma (or upvotes-downvotes aka simple karma) shouldn’t be a reason to disallow someone from using a lemmy community

        I get the objective need for the /s in this particular context, but we absolutely should add “using /s when the sarcasm should be obvious for anyone with basic reading comprehension skills” to the list

          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.

                Apparently reddit and lemmy are the only places they socialize, so whatever.

              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.
