And that's how I got banned from Reddit by making offensive jokes.

Never dumb down humor just because some people aren't capable of understanding it.

A year ago I made a sarcastic comment which most people understood as such, except one other commenter. I took the opportunity to make the most heavy handed sarcastic response I could where I said democrats should vote for SpongeBob and we should all be more like him because he's a hard worker.

Apparently that was the comment that needed the /s.

The real problem, in my opinion, is that when there's so much toxicity in a network that people need the /s, the network isn't capable of handling sarcasm anymore. At that point hate has won.

It's hard to keep up, but I try to read like everyone is having a good time. Like hanging out with my friends. It's a lot easier to not get heated about comments and just enjoy things. Because it can absolutely be easy to get drawn into the toxicity.

Reddit turned into nothing but toxic and "actually" replies to even the simplistic of things. And that /s was everywhere. So yeah I think you're absolutely right.

Also, go fuck yourself.

I didn't ask for your opinion, but ok.

That's always fun. Especially when you're the opposite of one.

This is why I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I’d rather look naive than make uptight assumptions. Plus, I’m a reddit refugee, and I’ve HAD IT with pedants and the rampant holier-than-thou crap.
