Using /s is never not cringe
Use "!" at the end of your joke/sarcastic comment. I found it easier to distinguish sarcasm that way.
That is a less annoying alternative, thanks!
Heh
I agree, it's equivalent to someone saying a joke and then following up with "I'm just joking!" We know you are. Anyone with a sense of nuance picked up on that, by the words you chose to use.
Just like with the spoken word, sometimes jokes are in poor taste or fall flat, but the /s makes every joke fall flat.
Yeah, that would be true if on the internet people were always joking with their shitty takes.
Nothing like laughing a joke when it wasn't a joke
That's the fun thing about the internet, you're free to disregard and ignore comments that don't appeal to you. Life is too short to take everything so seriously all the time. Which leads to the beauty of the reply button, it can lead to clarification, if you so desire.
Read your own advice, bud
Edit: my bad i thought this was a diffrent person and came off too hot.
