Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com), which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

We all are, lol. Text with no conveyance of emotion sure is fun and never leads to arguments, ever!

Actually, I'm starting to think that sarcasm on the internet may be the problem...🤔

Text truly is a difficult medium. It doesn't help that many statements that would have definitely been sarcasm a couple of decades ago are legitimately said by fascists these days.

I've been on the internet since 1994, and I was on BBSes before that from 1987, so that along with my ADHD means I tend to over-use emoticons to indicate the light-hearted tone of most of the things I write. heh.

Also I also overuse "lol" and "heh" and "meh" for those purposes, too.

I know some rail against the usage of "/s", but really, it's no bad thing. Sure it may identify some jokes that the author intended to be subtle, but in the days where these things are said by some people… it's just necessary, alas.

Yup, you sound exactly like me! I think others can be put off because of the things you highlighted, which I also overuse. I'd rather come off as jovial in my writing than mean or angry. If that means I gotta use old school ASCII faces, I'll overuse the shit out them! ;)
