    was an obvious attempt at humour

    One thing I’ve learned from my time here on Lemmy, never assume anything when you’re replying, be explicit, even bordering on legalese, when discussing with someone else here.

    People and conflict bots will nitpick the fact of things not said and use it against you.

    At the very least conclude your subtle joke comment with a “/s”, the universal signal for “please don’t yell at me, I was just joking around”.

      Is lemmy your first social media ever to use? Random people on the Internet don’t get jokes or even worse, they intentionally ignore it

        Is lemmy your first social media ever to use?

        The level of true insightfulness of your reply comment is so incredibly powerful and accurate (and wise!), that its hardly readable by a normal human being. /s

        Random people on the Internet don’t get jokes or even worse, they intentionally ignore it

        Well, its random, so that means some do ignore them, and others do not. /shrug
