Well, we certainly didn’t leave that signature sense of superiority behind.
But I am superior
Honestly, that’s so much worse here… The atheist posts are making me cringe pretty hard. I’m am atheist, so that’s saying something.
It’s like we got the best, and the worst, from Reddit.

I’ve run into some pretty fucking stupid people here
I thought /s meant stupid?
/s
I’m one of em
I find /s helpful :(
I’ve been experimenting with the use of ‘⸮’. As all the best things in language, it allows me to show off my feeling of cultured superiority⸮

Autism gang?
In a world where the most outlandish opinions are often genuine, it definitely helps to have a sarcasm indicator.
“This website that I and others like me decided to migrate to is much better than the place I left. That must mean everyone who decided to come here is super smart!”
Don’t get so full of yourself that you burst.
Maybe, but it seems all the people who think they are better than everyone else because they downloaded a different social media app made their way over here as well.
We’re all the same. Reddit did the same thing with Instagram.
I’d much rather have /s than comments that start with, or just say:
This.
Absolutely annihilates my patience towards humanity.
☝️this /s
This.
This.
This is the way.
I don’t see any problem with comments that start with “this” and then expand on it. It’s a synonym for “I concur,” but doesn’t sound snobby
This is some solid grade A pandering. You’re aware there’s no karma to farm, right?
Im here though
Our brains so smooth, we slip through the cracks.
Nah, I still use it. You have to. The tone of voice is non existent. Sarcasm is indistinguishable from stupidity. It’s impossible to tell and be right all the time without /s. It’s just responsible posting to include it.
Without it, if your sarcastic enough often enough, you’ll run into people who unironically agree with you on whatever you’ve sarcastically said. /s reminds those people who agree with whatever you’ve said that they are stupid.
Poe’s law applies.
How do you suppose every piece of literature to ever employ sarcasm got on without /s?
They don’t have to, since it’s a one-way medium instead of a conversation. Even if they did get misinterpreted, how are they gonna find out? Some disgruntled reader mailing them a letter?
Readers know the author.
No we have not.
/s is an excellent modifier for sarcasm. There’s no tone in text and bold/italic can only do so much. And with how many absolute crackpots are posting all over the internet, I’d prefer to be sure to not lump in a jokester with the absolute nutjobs.
To me it’s born out of this moment: “Wait, will someone see this joke and think I’m serious? If they did they’d think I’m a psycho…”
Am i wooshing myself??
That is literally the point of sarcasm. People legitimately wanted to murder Jonathan Swift.
If you write “/s”, just write the direct unironic statement in the first place.
We have editable titles and I see far worse titles, title grammar, and title punctuation in here than on reddit. Do you really think there’s no stupid here?
Yeah, all those stupid people who want to be kind to neurodivergents, understand that sarcasm is a tonal change which can’t be read in text, or don’t want their comments to give quarter to shitty people /s
Maybe don’t call people stupid when all you’re doing is whining about how language changes, a thing that languages do. It’s kind of… telling on yourself, ya know?
Whoosh
All? No way. Many? Sure. That big scary “Federation” thing slows them down.

Okay i let the sink in, what now???
Now it’s time to destroy a social media platform. (Yes, it’s a terrible Twitter joke, I’m sorry)
