    I’ve noticed that over the top satire tends to be taken entirely at face value on lemmy

    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.”
