I’ve noticed that over the top satire tends to be taken entirely at face value on lemmy. Doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop posting it, but I have noticed it. Also, demographics run much younger than most seem to believe.

I've noticed this too, and I imagine it must be a side effect of Lemmy's largest value prop having an outsized appeal to autistic people.

[-] iDunnoBro@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Most likely. I see many satirical or ironic jokes go over many heads here.

And sometimes it's taken as both, to be laughed at, and commented on.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

See, that makes perfect sense to me. Satire is meant to be taken as a talking point in the overwhelming majority of cases. I’m happy when the message I put out is extrapolated on, but upset when the conversation immediately dies at “no, that’s a silly interpretation.”

You know I thought it was copypasta but thought maybe it was rude to say it (if it wasn't). I must be delirious after making my 2am chili. I need to take a refreshing shower with icesoap.

This copypasta has done so much more to inform people about GNU than any somewhat reasonable piece of writing could ever have done.
