    No, because that would be communism, and that killed 100 million people. You also think genocide is bad, aren’t you? And besides of that, if there were less regulations, you could make your own video platform to challenge Google’s monopoly! /s

        It’s not possible for everyone to just tell if it’s supposed to be sarcasm. ADHD makes it hard. A bad day makes it hard. A tiring day makes it hard.

        The downside of the misunderstanding isn’t just downvotes. It’s possibly a proliferation of misinformation and an impression that there are people who DO think that way.

        Being not serious while saying something grim is not a globally understood culture either. It’s more common and acceptable in the Western world as a joke.

        So… call it accessibility, but it’s just more approachable for everyone to just put an “/s”.

      This kind of messages should have a “/s” attached. IMHO, that’s just proper Netiquette.

        I kind of inferred the /s by the end of the post, but respect that such inference isn’t universal. Also there are many /s comments that I wouldn’t infer if it wasn’t explicit.

        Netiquette

        Now there’s a term I’ve not seen in many years.

        And dates both of us, I expect… 😄
