The /s is absolutely needed - and even then, sadly it does not always help:-P.

Instructions unclear, tempted to downvote to give me clarity.

The thing about /s is that it can never hurt. It’s why we do science on “obvious” things; confirmation and clarity is always valuable.

Oddly enough the “lol” actually introduces the biggest doubt to me. It taints the commitment to the satire somewhat.

Sometimes if I think part of my comment isn’t clearly sarcastic enough I’ll go full html.

Like this:

<s>Donald Trump is soooooo handsome</s>

/s can never hurt, but there will always be someone saying “I hate sarcasm tags because they’re for stupid people” and that can hurt

Just remember that those are the stupid people because they don’t understand that sarcasm isn’t only about the reader but also the writer. Some people’s sarcasm is much clearer than others and for the one’s whose sarcasm isn’t is heavily noticeable, the /s helps.

Also, whining about non-harmful stuff that people do that isn’t what you would do instead of just living your life doing what makes you happy is generally pretty stupid anyways.

“/s” is cowardly. If you fly too close to the sun you should accept the fall.

/s is not needed outside the US. In the UK and Oz, sarcasm is assumed until proven otherwise

It has been proven to not work as a deterrent and innocent people have been put to death. Pass.
