Numeric Citizen@daringfireball I’m utterly disappointed if not disgusted by your reaction… I’m just wondering if this is so form of sarcasm… something that I think we don’t really need these days… you can do better.
JC@numericcitizen @daringfireball it’s very obviously sarcasm
@jcurreee and to that I say: thanks but no, thanks. No need for sarcasm to call out Musk and the orange clown.
@numericcitizen umm ok… if that’s how you feel, social media and/or the internet overall might not be a good fit for you
Scott Frazer@numericcitizen @daringfireball how can you read this as anything other than sarcasm?
Mark Whybird@sfrazer434 @numericcitizen @daringfireball Called it!

Countdown to @[email protected]’s obvious sarcasm in post https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/02/12/apple-advertising-x being taken as non-sarcastic #Apple #Musk #Xitter commentary: 3 … 2 … 1 …
@whybird Might be my English understanding (I'm French-native)... but the question is: are we living in an era where sarcasm is needed? No. We have to call out things as they are with their names.
Ilkka Viinikanoja@numericcitizen @whybird It’s absolutely needed. At least I got a little laugh out of otherwise crappy news thanks to the sarcasm.
@sfrazer434 no need for sarcasm these days... Musk is stupid, dangerous and must be stopped, period.
billyok@numericcitizen @daringfireball how in the world do you survive each day if you aren’t sure this is sarcasm?
@billyok social networks is the worst place to be for this...
