  Sarcasm is dead and .ml killed it.

    Deadpan sarcasm doesn’t translate well from a verbal medium to a written medium.

    Unless you’re in an echo chamber…

      wouldn’t say echochambers are immune, maybe communities where users know each other. like if anyone who knew me read it, they would immediately realize it’s sarcasm. but without any context, sarcasm is indistinguishable from a stupid idea.

      wonder how many times I’ve agreed with a nazi, because he was being sarcastic and I didn’t realize.

        Your username should have given me a clue

    I honestly believe that the more extreme .ml users will be chasing off new users coming to the fediverse, since they have the largest communities.

    Which is a shame.
