Cool info. If you were going for a copypasta type thing you nailed it.

I’ve noticed that over the top satire tends to be taken entirely at face value on lemmy. Doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop posting it, but I have noticed it. Also, demographics run much younger than most seem to believe.

I've noticed this too, and I imagine it must be a side effect of Lemmy's largest value prop having an outsized appeal to autistic people.

Most likely. I see many satirical or ironic jokes go over many heads here.

And sometimes it's taken as both, to be laughed at, and commented on.

See, that makes perfect sense to me. Satire is meant to be taken as a talking point in the overwhelming majority of cases. I’m happy when the message I put out is extrapolated on, but upset when the conversation immediately dies at “no, that’s a silly interpretation.”

This copypasta has done so much more to inform people about GNU than any somewhat reasonable piece of writing could ever have done.

it’s so sad that people aren’t recognizing this

Spork is the guy from Star Trek, right?

You know I thought it was copypasta but thought maybe it was rude to say it (if it wasn't). I must be delirious after making my 2am chili. I need to take a refreshing shower with icesoap.
