Is that the count from the EA “sense of accomplishment” post concerning Battlefront unlockable content?
Needs more downvotes
No one down voting? Do you guys not have phones?
It’s been locked for quite a while so that’s the final count.
That made me curious about what might be the most downvoted comment on the fediverse
I’m not aware of any other post anywhere ever with over 600k downvotes.
Huh, i swear it’s 7 figure, but apparently i remember it wrong.
Most downvoted comment
I love having to wave a little flag every time I’m joking, it doesn’t put me in a shitty mood at all.
Oops, I forgot to write it.
Reddit has gotten real dumb, even more so than before. Even in circlejerk subreddits people are taking stuff at face value.
Bots have no sense of humor.
Whats this “/s” for?
While the other response is pretty funny if you know what it means, its entirely unhelpful if you don’t.
/s = sarcasm
It’s to clarify when people are being serious. Sometimes tone is hard to determine over text, so people started using it to show that there is no inner joke, double meaning, or meta humor at play.
I’m seriously, you guys.
/s
The new Lemmy switch-a-roo.
The / here is the closing tag indicator, meaning “ends here” and s is “sarcasm”, so “sarcasm ends here”. If there’s text beyond that point, it’s no longer sarcastic.
No
“/s” is the equivalent of ending a quip with a “haha geddit? haha”
If it’s not clear you’re joking or being sarcastic, perhaps the line isn’t very good in the first place
I choose to believe that there’s a strong correlation between being a downvoter and being an unimaginative, humorless bore.
I have autism, so it really doesn’t matter how good your joke is, I will misunderstand it in fresh and novel ways.
/s is letting the audience know that it’s a joke. If you think that makes things unfunny, then comedy clubs must be awful for you. “Why is everyone laughing, it’s obvious he’s telling a joke, that ruins the whole joke. Don’t they know that ruins jokes? Jokes need to be secretive games where only clever people like me know they’re funny in order for it to be funny!”
I like when a portion of readers don’t get my sarcasm and downvote. It makes it funnier to me. Not like half, but a 6:1 ratio is perfect.
The day I have to ruin my own joke over fake Internet points
Using /s is just like explaining a joke right after you made it. It’s obnoxious and get’s an instant downvote from me. Either own up to your sarcasm and accept that some people might not get it, or don’t use it.
