    Sarcasm is not something outside of good faith. Good faith means you’re actively contributing as intended within whatever framework, you aren’t subtly trying to undermine it while lying about your intentions. You aren’t being sneaky, basically.

    It doesn’t mean you have to be completely literal and straightforward at all times. Sarcasm is fairly common here, many people (or at least me, anyway) find it humorous.

    Unless you’re referring to my top comment, in which case yes, I am genuinely curious why you keep changing your name. This is like the third or fourth time, isn’t it?

    That would be a bit of an unusual sarcastic thank you, the way you worded it sorta formally, but I suppose we are on the internet after all.

      Because I can (it takes 10 seconds). Obviously Lemmy built in that feature so people could and people requested the feature. There is no deep meaning behind why I do. I want to and I like changing my name up. Same with my profile pic.

      And yes, for the record, I knew you were being sarcastic (even without the italics), so I answered in kind. :)
