people with an extreme moral superiority complex emboldened by the anonymity of the internet.

Sarcasm is damn near impossible to pick up over text unless it's extremely obvious.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

If it's extremely subtle sarcasm yes. I agree. There was nothing subtle about my post though

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I agree, but I've done the same thing before and people have totally taken it seriously.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That doesn't mean it's extremely hard to pick up on obvious sarcasm. It just means some people are morons lol.

Yeah, I crack sarcastic Jokes all the time and it feels like no one on Lemmy gets sarcasm

I like to call them deadpan instead of sarcasm. Sarcasm has a tone to let others know that it isn't serious, while deadpan relies fully on the content itself.

I had a lot more deadpan comments crash and burn on Reddit than here. And even in this case, someone just questioned the comment while it had overall positive reception. I think Lemmy generally gets deadpan.
