A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

I don't agree, /s is immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.

Also, really often something that is "obvious sarcasm" for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet

Maybe internet forums aren't the best place for people that can't recognize context.

Why should we exclude neurodiverse people from a space when it's easy enough to make it accessible?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently reddit and lemmy are the only places they socialize, so whatever.

Do you active dislike neurodiverse people or you just prefer to surround you only with people you can relate to?

[-] wildeaboutoskar@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

No but they're here (and we should be being as inclusive as possible if we want Lemmy to be successful), so it makes no sense to shut the doors on them just because a couple of people don't like seeing /s .

Just because you don't care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn't mean that they should be excluded from here.
