    It indicates their being sarcastic, because they aren’t confident that that’s obvious to every reader.

        Sarcasm indicator is not just from 4chan. It’s an internet thing. Wtf are you smoking? You can’t go around calling everybody morons when you are in fact the moron.

        “/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

              Old people actually know what /s means. I’m pretty certain this is somebody who’s probably brand new to the internet and slightly new to the world.

            Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

            And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

                The one who’s hard to understand is you, with your complete lack of punctuation. “/s” is extremely common and pretty much everybody understands what it means. If you didn’t know until now, no biggie, now you do and all is well.

                And to answer your question, if a comment or a paragraph ends with an “/s”, then you can be sure the author was being sarcastic in that comment/paragraph.
                If there’s no indicator, it could still be sarcastic or it could be serious, use your own judgement.

                So no, not everything should be taken as sarcasm.

            Name is DeathToUS, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you’ve got rage and maturity issues based on how you’re conducting yourself online. Luckily Lemmy supports a robust tagging and blocking system.

              Censorship. Americans don’t want to be exposed to the opinions of the people they bombed

                Bruh, are you unstable too or just an Internet dweller with one issue on their mind. This guy was being a dick, he wasn’t even expressing his political opinions he was just being a fuckin loser - small communities don’t need to suffer losers trying to ruin the conversation for no other reason than they’re having a bad day.

                Also, who says America bombed this guy? He could be a troll in Russia or a red pilled teenager in Tennessee for all we fuckin know.

                Tagging doesn’t block someone, it just lets you remember when you wasted time on someone before hand - so you can down vote and move on, or treat them as they’ve been asked to be treated. That’s not censorship. And even if you block someone, it’s only a personal block, I can’t stop them from posting or commenting for anyone but me. Again, not censorship.

                And even if it did, why would censorship be the wrong move against a person incapable of having an intelligent discussion regardless of where they’re from? I don’t need every assholes backstory to decide if they’ve suffered too much to be blocked, that’s fuckin crazy. I guess I wouldn’t be opposed to a thread designed to air out your grievances about a specific topic, but a community can’t allow assholes to run unopposed because then it discourages good people from participating.

                So no, your friend is acting like a dick head - they should be labeled and treated as such - and when they’re ready to be a mature adult and talk about their feelings productively they should be allowed to. Make a thread sharing your opinions about how shit the US is, id happily participate, literally everyone in the world should have a bone to pick with the US. But don’t defend random assholes for being assholes and pretend it’s because you think they’re upset because they got bombed - that’s a level of crazy, unrelated back story creation that isn’t valuable to the current conversation.

                Lol. I need you to know, you’re not hurting mine or anyone else’s feelings. You’re not that impactful, powerful, or important.

                And yes, the US is a shit hole in a lot of ways.

                My point is only to say you’re an internet troll, who’s clearly immature and going through some emotional things right now based off how you treat other humans online. Hopefully you get the therapy and help you need to mature.

                  “Therapy” is where you send people you can’t be bothered to listen to. Like you wife or your children.

                  Meanwhile the IDF is full of Americans. They turned a friend of mine into a widow. Rage against Americans is totally justified. Your action have consequences. Fuck you

                    That’s the most red pilled take on therapy I’ve heard. Therapy is where you go to work through your trauma and emotional issues.

                    I’m not defending America or Americans you fuckin twat, maybe read this chain before cosplaying as this guy’s alt account. We’re talking about how they’re being a dick to people using very common forum lingo presumably because they’re emotionally stunted - Lemmy is too small for immature people to be tolerated.

                    Fuckin focus on one issue at a time, you wanna debate whether the people of a country should be held accountable for their political systems outputs despite the power being largely decoupled from them - go ahead - but do it in another thread. Maybe where someone’s actually talking about issues, instead of addressing bad Internet behaviors.

                    Little pathetic baby crying online insulting people who did nothing to them. SAD PATHETIC LITTLE BABY DEATHTOUS IS.

                    Your user name is equally pathetic. You don’t even see that it means death to yourself.

                    Maybe grow up a little and respect others instead of shitting on them for your lack of knowledge.

                    Who am I kidding, you are probably incapable of growing mentally and emotionally.
