I always enjoy it when I post a silly joke and the first two people misunderstand it, and then the rest of humanity sees a negative number, so they don't even give it the benefit of the doubt anymore and just toss their -1 into there for good measure.

Like, it's sad that the post went to waste, but I don't care how far into the negative it is. At that point, a large negative number just amuses me.

Get yourself a server with no downvotes. It is the wave of the future.

Yeah, I am anti-/s. I feel like using /s is explaining the joke. If people can read the tone great, but I definitely have some negative scores here and there, and it is what it is, I won't abandon my principles.

I think it's fair if it's really not obvious at all but yeah kinda ruins the joke a lot of the time

Also a bunch of laughing emojis put in a written joke are kind of like telling the joke and adding "you should laugh here".
