A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    I get the objective need for the /s in this particular context, but we absolutely should add “using /s when the sarcasm should be obvious for anyone with basic reading comprehension skills” to the list

      I don’t agree, /s is immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.

      Also, really often something that is “obvious sarcasm” for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet

        Maybe internet forums aren’t the best place for people that can’t recognize context.
