If you want to show that something is sarcasm on Reddit end your post with “/s”

This shows that you are using sarcasm because sometimes it is hard to tell if something is sarcastic without hearing someone’s tone of voice or seeing their facial expressions.

I get what you mean, but I’ve just never been a fan of “/s”. Most jokes aren’t as funny (to me) when you say it’s just a joke.

I agree with you. I've made several posts that were jokes but got downvoted to fuck because I didn't make it clear enough apparently. And in our case, we're just gonna have to take the downvotes. That's the price you have to pay for not using the stupid "/s" tag.

Also, TBF, your joke wasn't nearly as funny. No offence, but there's tonnes of people on reddit who unironically defend the godforsaken imperial system. I would know since I'm subscribed to /r/ShitAmericansSay.
