I'd say people worrying about Karma.
this /s
I get the objective need for the /s in this particular context, but we absolutely should add "using /s when the sarcasm should be obvious for anyone with basic reading comprehension skills" to the list
I don't agree,
/sis immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.Also, really often something that is "obvious sarcasm" for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet
Maybe internet forums aren't the best place for people that can't recognize context.
