You should have left "/s" at the end of your comment, it's really hard to distinguish between a joke and stupidity on the Internet.

They did add a /s to the end. The user you were replying to wrote the comment that the stupid comment was replying to!

It is there. At the end of the line.

To me this undermines any humour the comment may had to begin with.

In that case, it was an unnecessary joke and not helpful to the conversation.

Sorry, I'll refrain from humor from now on?

Please don't, keep being fun!

It works here on HN too, many of my comments are upvoted jokes and I liked yours. It's sad it attracted animosity though.

I like browsing HN mostly for the interesting discussions, but I enthusiastically take the occasional jokes that come with them.

(I might have been upvoted by people taking my jokes seriously now that I think about it. I don't know if this is a terrifying or a funny thought!)

Seems reasonable.

Go to reddit if you want to make average IQ humor.
