One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn’t get a post was a joke.
When I came here it seemed that wasn’t the case but I’ve noticed over the last month a lot of users using it or having -28 points for an off the cuff comment.
I might be just be a bit too bothered by the need to use it.
Adding the /s is also about accessibility and inclusion since written sarcasm is much harder to read and especially difficult for neurodiverse people.
I can imagine that the percentage of ND reddit and lemmy user are higher than in the general population.
So by refusing to use /s you are actually cutting a big part of lemmy users out of the conversation.
Others mentioned this I started using it since
Sorry, I didn’t see this post is 4 months old. I don’t know why it showed up in my feed…
Anyways, good on you to take this information into account and changing things.
