Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Using /s to indicate you’re being sarcastic about an already sarcastic statement is ambiguous and you shouldn’t be surprised that people didn’t get your level of irony correct

      is ambiguous

      Ah - like a double negative? I didn’t realise I cancelled out my sarcasm with more sarcasm. I need to spend more time on the internet. I’d hate for my sarcasm to be misunderstood.
