I feel that outside the memes community , no one had ever said a joke in the comments and I rarely see sarcasm here.

    Whenever I try to be funny, I come across as super-cereal…folks don’t like that in neurodivergent cave dwellers…:/

      It’s a difficult medium.

      I just wish people used downvotes more sparingly, from all perspectives of the spectrum. Particularly on comments. It’s discouraging for everyone.

        It’s been better, but for about a year now it looks like a number of lost people have been roaming lemmy sowing confusion…plenty of users used to say this was a really welcoming environment, particularly before the reddit IPO/LLMs…

        It’s not that difficult. Plenty of sites manage to do just fine with text comments and still be light hearted. A big problem is lemmy seems to willfully misinterpret comments to the worse possible meaning.
