We have those. They're called tone indicators. Yet, some idiots think it is beneath them to be inclusive.
The people who are angry that you can't read their mind, yet they can't read yours.
I recall a long time ago that the period symbol used to imply sarcasm tone. But that was back when you had to always manually add it.
That was like.. 2000 -2010 ish. I think.
Or was I just a sarcastic teen who assumed everyone I talked to was also being sarcastic. 🤔
Hey I know it's been a week but. I learned about this today. That's relevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Also. Ive seen two people add "s/".
At the end of their comment to denote it as satire/sarcasm. That seems to work well too. And can be done on a computer
I know it's been a month but just wanted to inform that the "/s" you mention is one of the "tone indicators" I was talking about. This is a backup account I use for when my main instance goes down.
