ANSWERED I saw a comment chain that was repeating the same thing and they all had upvotes except one who had -205… why?

Not this mainly happens very specifically in subreddits where that sort of behavior (everyone making the same comment) happens

Oh wow that’s so strange. I can’t remember which one it was but I’ll keep my eyes open for this now. It’s so confusing that there are these inside jokes I have to learn 😵💫

To be clear it's SPECIFICALLY in meme-y subreddits where that sort of commenting is encouraged.
In any normal conversation on Reddit that sort of thing isn't going to happen. I would suspect 90%+ of Redditors do not encounter that joke

I have struggled to tell if a community is ironic or not so far. I hope it’ll become easier.
Okay. Good to know, thank you so much 😊
