I’m not sure that’s true. I observed more sarcasm without the need to flag it (/s) compared to reddit and I like it. My post are often sarcastic (probably a coping mechanism, the world has gone crazy) and I wouldn’t be a big fan of flagging them as such: “Hey look, I made a joke. Now laugh and press the upvote!”
I mean it definitely has been my experience that even the most blatant sarcasm and jokes is taken straight here more than even on Reddit. Facebook varies a lot ofc but if granny gets stuff easier than this place, something is off haha
I mean he was caught asking his daughter who is also describing her mother as her best friend to cover for him with a plan that was likely to fail to begin with. That’s not the plan of a mastermind. Actually the opposite.
I agree with you, but OP didn’t make that explicitly clear; being a total stranger and given the number of people who unironically promote everything from long-debunked conspiracy theories to outright lies, I do not see why anyone should assume somebody is joking rather than in earnest.
You’re welcome to infer that OP is being sarcastic, but they haven’t made a comment on the matter either way.

Lemmy is even worse than Reddit at picking up sarcasm hah. Even my local Facebook group is better at it, which is wild
