Nah, that's the sarcasterisk and should replace /s in modern communication.
It also means three pointer dereferences in C++.
Please submit a proposal for this.

#22Fediverse is essentially like the old Microsoft organization chart. So the symbol needs either guns or at least division lines. https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts
Unfortunately true.

This reasoning is nonsensical. There is nothing to refute in it, but, just to prove it wrong: sarcasm is commonly denoted in spoken English by intonation.
And as we all know, it is impossible to imply tone in written text.
It is possible to do that, but sarcasm in written text uses a different notation: /s, which you just proposed to abolish above.
I don't like your replies, so I stop this conversation with you.

Exactly, it is the illusion of transparency. Have someone read something you've written out loud, you'd be surprised how often they use a different tone than you had in mind. Add to that a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
The comment you're replying to was being sarcastic. (I'm not sure about you!)
Ironically, proving the (wrong) point

#27Arguably @ is a Fedi symbol already. Adding the domain is generally all it takes.

Honestly explicit sarcasm indication should just die out entirely. Might as well be writing it longhand as "Just in case you missed it, this is a joke haha." every time you tell a joke.
I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not. I’ve never met you and tone isn’t conveyed over text.
I’m assuming you’re joking, but maybe that’s exactly why we need explicit sarcasm demarcation.
