We need like a symbol or emoji or something for satire cause it's honestly getting too hard to tell. I have to ask people all the time to clarify.
I personally like the upside down smiling face. Melting face. Just something we can agree on and that won't come up in other conversations too much. And that's also on most people's phones.
Idk. Just brainstorming

We have those. They're called tone indicators. Yet, some idiots think it is beneath them to be inclusive.
Hey I know it's been a week but. I learned about this today. That's relevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Also. Ive seen two people add "s/".
At the end of their comment to denote it as satire/sarcasm. That seems to work well too. And can be done on a computer
The people who are angry that you can't read their mind, yet they can't read yours.
I recall a long time ago that the period symbol used to imply sarcasm tone. But that was back when you had to always manually add it.
That was like.. 2000 -2010 ish. I think.
Or was I just a sarcastic teen who assumed everyone I talked to was also being sarcastic. 🤔
I’ve used both in non-satirical contexts, but am personally more likely to interpret 🙃 as a /s tone indicator.
