Yes, the /s and sarcastic tone both exist and are used by people.

If you want to make a joke, assume that some people won't get it. If you don't want any ambiguity then no, do not use sarcasm. If you write "/s", you're not being sarcastic at all, you're just using a double negative.

The thing is at some point people with hateful messages win simply by debating and putting their hate out there. Choosing not to engage is everyone's right, nobody is obligated to debate anything.

Am i wooshing myself??

That is literally the point of sarcasm. People legitimately wanted to murder Jonathan Swift.

If you write "/s", just write the direct unironic statement in the first place.
