  • I mean it’s not just a lemmy thing it’s an internet thing, but mostly common in places people don’t know the autor very well and the autor decides to not use any form of indication they are using sarcasm.

    Sarcasm and rethoric questions rely heavily on human conection and being able to read tonal shifts or gestures of the speaker. You don’t have any of that on the internet.

    Yes, you can take the absurdity of some claims as an indicator some people might be using sarcasm… Then again you look what is happening world wide, and some of the absurdities being said cannot be taken as someone taking the piss but much rather hey this unknown person might hold this believes.

    So when writing and wanting to use sarcasm please be classy enough to leave a clue that it’s sarcasm by using an /s as ☠️ or writting in italics.




  • There is no real strattegy when flirting. It’s all vibes based and based on the person you try. Some might love a joke you make while others might thing it’s offensive.

    The only pointers I can give are: be chill, funny and nice to be around with. Learn how read the room and how zo banter. Also if you are strughling to talk to people you find attractive: ask genuine open queshions. People love talking about themselves to people that are interested in them.
