HN doesn't do sarcasm.

They do, quite a bit.

Just check the number of comments with /s at the end.

People sometimes even say "you forgot to put a /s" or the like, in reply to an obviously sarcastic comment.

That's a Reddit thing, not HN. Normally I see stuff downvoted if it has /s.

Somewhat different from I've seen, then.

And a poor choice if true, IMO.
