This is a common social media trend so it shouldn’t be surprising that it happens on lemmy too.
Most of the time when I see a seemingly innocuous comment being downvoted checking the user history shows they are actually meaning it in a negative way or pregending to the sarcastic. But yeah, it sucks when it is just a misunderstanding as that certainly happens too.
Sometimes for fun when I get the occasional comment that gets misinderstood I slap on an edit pointing that out fully expecting more downvotes, but sometimes it turns around. Always worth it.
dang… I hate when this happens, you post something, and you think its abvious satire. And then nobody gets it and you get insulted by your own peers.
Not to mentioned being banned from a Political Meme sub for posting a <checks notes> political meme.
Plus, lemmy dogpiles from the get go: if your post/comment gets to ‘-1’ off the bat, there’s zero chance of recovery.
