Sarcasm is usually identified through inflections, tone of voice, and body language. When communicating through text, none of these traditional indicators are present, forcing the reader to guess as to the true intent of the op.

Much to my chagrin sarcasm just does not work well in text.

I wonder if there's a tendency toward over-diagnosis of that in this day and age..

Because there are many deviants on voat who can say anything, and mean it. Can't take things for granted in here.

Edit - when I say deviants I don't mean that in a disparaging way - around here, assume that there is diversity.

It's hard to tell in text when sarcasm is implied, there are too many varying opinions and when someone says something it is generally taken how it is written.

I feel like i speak in a dry monotone and need a /s for real life too...

This. It is at times hard to tell the tone of anything in text-based communication, be it sarcasm, humor or what have you.
