Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

Curious to get thoughts on whether this is a good fit.

For social media, It is a perfect fit. I remember many cases that the people had serious discussions under the publishes of parody accounts. No matter it is clearly stated that it is a parody account, there are always people who takes it serious.

But, I am not sure if it is a good fit for this repo. My vote is no 👎🏻 .
