Correct. They’re merely cognitively insufficient to successfully model the minds of the people they talk to.

    Neurodivergent people exist, and they deserve respect too.

    Not only neurodivergent people need the "/s". Not all subtle speech cues are easily transmitted through text.

    And it is not even only neurodivergent people where /s is helpful. You dont hear the tone of voice of people in the internet which is used to indicate sarcasm irl. I would rather use an /s than people misunderstanding what I wrote abd maybe them thinking I am some kind of conspiracy idiot

    Good thing poes law doesn't exist forcing us to be more explicit about what is and isn't a joke.

    Poe’s “Law” is a simple self-fulfilling declaration that communication has failed. It’s not even a postulate about the nature of reality. It’s a declaration that we give up.

    To call something like that a “Law” is ridiculous.

    Declaring that confusion exists is a way to create confusion.
