That's why I don't engage with that stuff. I understand shitposting, but not everyone can tell the difference. Especially if a bot is scraping to train a model or build a profile on users.

This is why the /s is important. It should always be explicitly clear when a post is satire, if being taken seriously could be harmful.

That's why I hate it when people say "chill, it's just a shitpost, it's not that deep." Like, this is how disinformation spreads...
