It has nothing to do with one's ability to detect text tone better than another cohort. It is simply using the brain for a split second to evaluate which is more likely; a pro-AIDS misogynistic Lemmy user, or someone taking the piss on the fact Lemmy users are much the opposite.

It is clearly "Amiright, guys?" character humour and really only requires some minimal effort to realise that.

Though, at this point it really doesn't matter as those that think for themselves by looking at what others thought (the vote counters) will contribute by following suit.
