Deadpan sarcasm doesn't translate well from a verbal medium to a written medium.

Unless you're in an echo chamber....

    wouldn't say echochambers are immune, maybe communities where users know each other. like if anyone who knew me read it, they would immediately realize it's sarcasm. but without any context, sarcasm is indistinguishable from a stupid idea.

    wonder how many times I've agreed with a nazi, because he was being sarcastic and I didn't realize.
