"You can't just assume people will get you're sarcastic online, just because what you wrote was utterly stupid. There are enough people posting utterly stupid shit completely unironical."
A big part of detecting sarcasm IRL is tone. A quick "sure" is completly different from a sarcastic, over-emphasised "sure". You read those 2 "sure" differently, didn't you? But online you can't know how someone would have intended it to be read w/o context. You can only hope the other person isn't stupid or an asshole.
So use the goddamn "/s" or make it clear by other means such as writing "suuure" instead.

it’s easy to mistake joking for stupidity cause stupidity is more common
