Pretty sure? I thought the Lemmy audience was better at detecting sarcasm than Reddit ☹️ I guess I'll have to keep on using sarcasm tags here too then.

It's not a problem with the platform, any online setting that has diverse enough views are going to require that. To get away from them you need to just put out views that basically everyone agrees with, which can be done by either sticking to echochambers or just having absurdly accepted views.

Gotta account for folks at different places on the spectrum. Some people can't help but interpret things literally.
