Good thing poes law doesn't exist forcing us to be more explicit about what is and isn't a joke.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Poe’s “Law” is a simple self-fulfilling declaration that communication has failed. It’s not even a postulate about the nature of reality. It’s a declaration that we give up.

To call something like that a “Law” is ridiculous.

Declaring that confusion exists is a way to create confusion.
