Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesnβt provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
Are you advocating tags for all inflections of verbal speach or just sarcasm?
The weird thing is, using Emojis is like the perfect way to display subtle and varied verbal inflections in text form.. but people here largely refuse to do it because they see it as cringe
What is the "I'm being sarcastic" emoji?
I personally like using π€ for "confidentally stupid" sarcasm and π¬ for "yikes" sarcasm.
There's also the classic eyeroll π but that one's usually a bit too aggressive for me.
Oh and π« and π can work well too!

Back in the forum days it was the wink π

Personally i just go with whatever conveys that i am not being serious, such as any of these ππ€§ππ€π.
Though i suppose i should say i am not 12 and have no idea what the cool kids use, probably π or so
Emoticons are inherently superior! :{)
ooh he's got a lil mustache! That's my favorite emotion!

Goatee man!
Kaomoji is superiorer α( α )α
Forgot the /s
The tag solution in my opinion would be better than the "/s", you could hide sarcasm+ it would be just visually marked.
