One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn’t get a post was a joke.
When I came here it seemed that wasn’t the case but I’ve noticed over the last month a lot of users using it or having -28 points for an off the cuff comment.
I might be just be a bit too bothered by the need to use it.
You must log in or register to comment.
Adding the /s is also about accessibility and inclusion since written sarcasm is much harder to read and especially difficult for neurodiverse people.
I can imagine that the percentage of ND reddit and lemmy user are higher than in the general population.
So by refusing to use /s you are actually cutting a big part of lemmy users out of the conversation.
Others mentioned this I started using it since
Sorry, I didn’t see this post is 4 months old. I don’t know why it showed up in my feed…
Anyways, good on you to take this information into account and changing things.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with posting on an older thread, your comment had good info
Here you are addressing people from all over the world : they have different cultures, backgrounds, perspectives … and some of us didn’t have time to take our first coffee before reading your writings !
So, be indulgent and take this smallest of efforts to add this "/s” please. I for one will be thankful 😌There are too many idiots around to assume sarcasm . (Definition of idiot may differ depending on political affinity)
