I'm on android Firefox at the moment and I can confirm that it becomes problematic after about thirty characters. That's what I meant by my previous post.

- kbenson 9y agoUnofficial HN community guide: Short comments meant to be viewed as sarcasm end up being interpreted incorrectly often when used in a serious forum. A short clarifying rider sentence explaining your real opinion often helps. That may ruin the joke, but if your comment was just to make a joke, it probably wasn't strong enough reason to comment anyway (for additional info on jokes, see the section entitled How to make a joke and not get downvoted). Addendum: Poe's law is alive and well. (The above is of course my take, and other people will follow their own best practices)
- MaulingMonkey 9y agoSarcasm marks (e.g. "/s") are another option, although I was able to get it without the annotation.
