      It indicates their being sarcastic, because they aren’t confident that that’s obvious to every reader.

        I just don’t get why would anyone use wording from one of the most fascist right wing forum’s on the internet sites lemmy is the opposite to even reddit and most of you probably aren’t teenagers anymore.

          “/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

              This is hilarious. I’m picturing some old person just sitting behind their screen screaming. A real old man yells at clouds vibes.

                Old people actually know what /s means. I’m pretty certain this is somebody who’s probably brand new to the internet and slightly new to the world.

              Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

              And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

                lay down the internet seriously not even nerds understand what you mean so you mean everything here should be taken as sarcasm or what?

                  The one who’s hard to understand is you, with your complete lack of punctuation. “/s” is extremely common and pretty much everybody understands what it means. If you didn’t know until now, no biggie, now you do and all is well.

                  And to answer your question, if a comment or a paragraph ends with an “/s”, then you can be sure the author was being sarcastic in that comment/paragraph.
                  If there’s no indicator, it could still be sarcastic or it could be serious, use your own judgement.

                  So no, not everything should be taken as sarcasm.

          Sarcasm indicator is not just from 4chan. It’s an internet thing. Wtf are you smoking? You can’t go around calling everybody morons when you are in fact the moron.

              Name is DeathToUS, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you’ve got rage and maturity issues based on how you’re conducting yourself online. Luckily Lemmy supports a robust tagging and blocking system.

                  Lol. I need you to know, you’re not hurting mine or anyone else’s feelings. You’re not that impactful, powerful, or important.

                  And yes, the US is a shit hole in a lot of ways.

                  My point is only to say you’re an internet troll, who’s clearly immature and going through some emotional things right now based off how you treat other humans online. Hopefully you get the therapy and help you need to mature.
