  And 4 years on, I still can’t figure out whether it’s because of neurospiciness or divergent interests. Linux? 471 communities. Writing? 2 and the mods of the second one abandoned their accounts years ago

    Maybe it’s because even within the fediverse, there are too many people who agree to it unironically. i.e. Lemmy is just a little too diverse for most satire.

      In certain ways, maybe. I can’t see eye to eye with some people on what constitutes a genocide, for instance. But there comes a point where it’s apparent again and it’s pretty apparent who it’s apparent to on this open source communist Linux forum.

      It’s my personal belief that lemmy at large is simply too experientially limited to recognize online satire outside of incredibly specific examples. Mostly meme templates.

    Pretty sure it’s the tism.

    I’ve gotten considerably more replies here than on Reddit from people who don’t understand sarcasm.

    Neurodivergents being overrepresented likely accounts for some of the tendency of people mistakenly taking things literally on Lemmy. But I think a bigger issue is just a lack of media literacy. People tend to close themselves off from opposing viewpoints, and what does filter through is often exaggerated or otherwise misrepresented to make it easier to ridicule. This pattern leads people into thinking something intentionally absurd is in fact serious. Poe’s law is something easy to observe on other platforms too, but it’s worse on a platform with an especially political and nondiverse userbase.

      No, no, that’s “literally taking everything,” but now we’re getting into the realm of dyslexics
