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

As someone who is incredibly tone deaf in written conversation, please don’t get rid of the /s. It really does help

Sadly, I understand your point, but feel that I need to remind you of Poe’s Law. I think the /s is required because shit is all too real

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.

Just because you don’t care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn’t mean that they should be excluded from here.

Why should we exclude neurodiverse people from a space when it’s easy enough to make it accessible?
