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.

    Because some people are so illiterate they can’t understand context clues even in written form where you have FOREVER to think about it and they NEED that stupid letter S at the end in order to go “ooooooooh ok thank god someone told me it was a joke, I was unable to think for myself and recognize it on my own.”

    Don’t use your “neurodivergence” as an excuse to rationalize why you shouldn’t think about things, it’s actually sickening to see people falling into that belief.
