Hey! I sometimes have a hard time parsing tone over text. It seems to me others do as well, since I've seen a bunch of people commenting on the levels of irony on hexbear.
While we're all supportive of tone clarifiers, we don't want to use /s because that would turn this instance into Reddit. I sometimes think that sentiment is silly, but I can see where it's coming from and in general I agree with it.
I would however like to ask that we implement a rule so that the question "is this a bit/are you being sarcastic?" Has to be answered with honesty, if the person asked answers. Like you don't have to answer, but if you do you have to be honest.
Some of my least favorite experiences in internet conversation that didn't involve outright stalking or other exceptionally fucked up shit involved "you didn't get my very le clever very le ironic joke, you are stupid and bad" victory lapping that goes on for basically forever afterward for that particular irony-poisoned anti-comedian.
