Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I agree with the decision. I mean, have you seen the green on the vest and the tie? What are those colors called? Puke and vomit? Doesn't look good on her… or on anyone, really. What was she thinking?!
What was that? She wasn't rejected for the atrocious sense of style, but for wearing a suit at all? Oooooooooh!
Well, in that case: Let's paint the walls of that prom location in the same green. With the puke that I have to force down when I read such bullshit!
Edit: okay, okay, I thought I didn't need it on Lemmy, but ppl seem to misread my post, so: /s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
Not applicable to that specific post as they obviously went the extra mile in layering an exaggerated and moronic take with additional hyperbole.
The fact that they had to edit in and add an explicit "/s" is an indictment of the mental capacity of those who down voted it, not OP, and definitely not indicative of Poe's Law.
You think that's the only explanation? It couldn't be that people found it unfunny, labored, and cringy?
I mean, the post you're replying to was obviously sarcastic when I read it, even before I got to the edit. Blows my mind how many people can't see that and need to have their hands held with an /s 🙄
you need to /s because there will always be the one time someone is serious about it.
I mean I get that but this post is obviously sarcasm. Use your fucking head dumbass its not that fucking hard.
God damn people are stupid as fuck.
Sarcasm Detection is Way Too Easy!
You are misinformed, chances are you are about average at detecting sarcasm. Everybody think they are good at it, but you probably couldn't detect sarcasm on something you agree on nearly as easily as you think.
If you love the color blue, how do you decide between:
1 I love the color blue, it's so pretty. (true statement)
2 I love the color blue, it's so pretty. (Sarcasm)
Even if it's between 2 people who know each other, sarcasm is far from always detected. Even between married people the sarcasm detector isn't 100%.
Research has been done on that, and although I don't recall the numbers, what I do recall is, that people detect sarcasm way less than we expect.
Now was the first line sarcasm or not?
