A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

      karma (or upvotes-downvotes aka simple karma) shouldn’t be a reason to disallow someone from using a lemmy community

        Requiring minimum positive karma is stupid when it can be gamed so easily.

        Someone with very negative karma is likely a troll.

        I was going to post that you’re lucky you included the /s, but I just realized we don’t have karma so it doesn’t matter anyways. Such a nice feeling…

          Fuck that /s If you’re unable to grasp context without it then just move on to a different discussion.

          I don’t agree, /s is 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.

              Just because you don’t care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn’t mean that they should be excluded from here.
