Not sure if it's due to being new-ish here, differences between follower demographics on various sites, or just that jokes are a more common and expected part of other social media (like Twitter) in general, but finding how frequently the very obviously exaggerated little jokey things I post are taken seriously or at face value here compared to other sites sucks the fun out of it, a little. How do I make silly little posts on here without people staging an intervention

Apparently finding it slightly frustrating that absurd, jokey posts are frequently taken seriously and asking for advice about preventing it means I am simply offended because I'm not particularly funny, which is ridiculous because I'm not trying to be funny on here, I'm trying to find and seduce a wealthy oil baron, steal his diamonds after his mysterious death, and flee to Patagonia before the local moustachioed detective starts asking questions

@Ciaraioch A mustachioed detective follows me around all the time. He's outside right now, having a smoke and gesticulating wildly.

@Ciaraioch my approach is to break down and explain the joke with as much detail as possible until it becomes its own farcical performance.

@Ciaraioch follow them with a blobcat? :blobcat3c: (If your instance supports such features)

@Ciaraioch in all seriousness though, the community here is less appreciative of exaggerated opinions for the sake of it. This network has been around for a very long time now and there's a general ethos of how to behave - people have a sense of "ownership" over it therefore police it a bit themselves... that's a good thing in my opinion. Yes, sometimes something is taken too seriously, but in those times it benefits everyone to just be courteous and say "sorry, I think you misunderstood me" rather than pouring more petrol on the fire (not saying anyone here doesn't do that, just an example)

@paul I'm not sure if we're talking about the same things - it's not exaggerated opinions on anything I'm posting, more like exaggeration for humour. Like saying I last had a date in the ice-age.

@Ciaraiochah, OK, fair enough. I rarely see those sorts of comments taken seriously... I make a lot of them myself 😁
