Victorian here, i see our african gangs are on the move
Looks like that flew over someone's head.
(Sky news and a right wing politician infamously tried to claim that African gangs were rampaging through victoria and people were afraid to go out at night. This was, shockingly, a lie.)
Victorian here, I see you watch shitty fear mongering rightwhinger TV.
that was sarcasm, you moon faced pie. Fucks sake, we're literally talking about sky news being full of shit, someone refers to something else sky news posted that was also full of shit and you somehow think this was a non sarcastic comment complaining about africans
Dude. I'm fucking autistic and asking what the hell is wrong with you.
I've noticed most of lemmy doesn't really get sarcasm, kind of odd.
Sarcasm doesn't work on anonymous forums. Nobody knows who you are or has any context for you; if a post isn't able to stand individually in a zero-trust environment, then you can't complain when others misunderstand. Sarcasm only works if you're amongst people who know you.
yeah but that cuts both ways. If you're the only one who appears to be taking something in the wrong context, then you need to stop and go "I have made a whoopsie" not double down and start hurling fashy accusations
self-awareness level: 0
Bit of adifference between calling someone a pie and calling someone a shitty right winger though.
You were not once abused by them?
But you certainly were abusive yourself.
That's BS, it can and it does, quite often, but the lemmy crowd seems to be more obtuse than most.
No, this isn't sarcasm.
Thanks, but the mob has spoken and I'm the unreasonable one apparently.
Oh gee you sure got me good with your sarcasm that was 100% the sort of shit I've heard people utter in this city.
And you weren't talking about SkyNews being shit, your only comment was about African Gangs. If you'd been talking shit about Sky alongside the African gangs remark, maybe your comment would have read better as sarcasm.
My dear hamster in christ the whole damned post is sledging sky news
