      Reddit does not own human communication. Do not give it such power

      /s is a really useful tool to convey non seriousness in a textual conversation. Reddit did not invent it. The people that realized there was a gap in understanding and starting to textualize sarcastic tone did.

      Just like emoticons and memes where embraced by internet culture before. The human condition earns to expressive itself in new and more nuanced ways.

      In other terms: Language is open source.

        I agree and let me add one more reason.

        I don’t claim to represent all dumb people on the internet but being dumb myself, sometimes I need a clear indication that something is sarcastic, otherwise I just don’t get it.

          You don’t need to be dumb to struggle with this sort of thing.

          You sound decently smart to me, being aware or you own flaws and such. The majority of people overestimates there own intelligence and abilities.

      /s isnt really good, it allows people to see someone isnt saying something seriously, but it makes any joke completely unfunny
