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.
For every completely unhinged and stupid statement, there surely is someone who believes it.
Now, you see, if we didn’t put /s behind these posts, it would be impossible to tell whether we’re joking, or whether whoever writes the comment is actually that stupid. That’s just how it is on the internet.
