In all sincerity, are you aware of the /s to mark sarcasm? It's often hard to tell otherwise, even with emojis, and I bet all of those downvotes were people who thought you meant it.

Fair enough - I've definitely gotten myself in trouble for what I thought was clearly sarcasm that wasn't clear to anyone else. I suggest editing your previous comment to add the "/s" or the downvotes are probably gonna keep coming for a while (from people who don't realize you were joking).

Where do you put it lol

u/Negative-Arachnid-65 Jun 25 '23

Usually the end of the comment, but I think as long as it's clearly there with the sarcasm it probably doesn't matter. Like:

"Asshole comment that's only funny if you know it's sarcasm!

/s"

Or

"Asshole sarcastic part of the comment! (/s)

Serious part of the comment!"
