Poe's law is when sarcasm is confused for something serious. Using /s to mark you're sarcasm as sarcasm is a cop out (which I reflexively downvote on).

I'd offer that Poe's law is when you can't tell sarcasm or not [0] and it applies more to comments/reactions.
I don't think the term really applies here, and I also despise the emoji copouts.
