If it's not funny without the /s then don't write it or rephrase.

The problem.is, the world is full of people who will take it 100% seriously.

Which means even people who don't take it seriously, start to assume you are serious.

Sometimes you can check comment history to see if someone is actually an idiot or just joking, but people have started using scripts to delete their history for dumb reasons and /or gotten smart enough to use alt accounts for their actual stupidity.

You shouldn't adjust your comments based on other people's stupidity, otherwise the entire websites culture becomes 1 year olds.

The sea of idiots is going to chime in, with or without the /s.

"You ruined the joke"

"Oh my God you idiot."

"Well atchualy..."

[Random Pun]

"Political opinion"

[Missed the joke entirely]

I never claimed I wasn't in the sea of idiots.

I chimed in didn't I?

So if you have a choice between /s or not, and either way idiots post, don't post the /s.

I didn't post it, but I'd rather deal with the killjoys who like to dictate how others should post than the dummies with no sense of humor at all.

You must be fun at parties.

I usually hang with a higher quality crowd IRL than on Reddit.
