      Sarcasm tag exists, it should be used. If you’re getting downvoted because you didn’t use the tag… good. We don’t need lemmy to breed nazis/assholes

      More than two options available… maybe he sucks at making clever sarcastic comments? Or maybe he was not sarcastic? Something as simple as /s would have helped.

        If your comment requires /s, maybe just don’t post it in the first place.

          The tag does two things. One, for people like me (ND ASD) the tag allows us to actually understand what you’re trying to say. Kind of a dick move to exclude people from the conversation. Two, and far more important, it’s no longer a question if you’re being sarcastic. That doesn’t sound important until you remember that 4chan literally brought back nazis because they thought ironic nazism was hilarious. And then all the closeted nazis used that to say “none of those people are being ironic, they all mean what they’re saying” to new, properly primed recruits.
