          Lack of a sarcasm indicator on the internet will have people assume you’re not being sarcastic. Use /s if you’re truly being sarcastic otherwise people are just going to assume you’re backtracking because you didn’t like the downvotes.

                Like I said I often do. Usually people get it if I don’t. When they don’t, it seems more of a case of 1-2 people not getting it and then others piling on without even reading
