        It’s not psuedoscience, it’s simply the observation that, as this thread shows, it can often be difficult to tell the difference between satire and honestly held opinions. I question your understanding of the word “psuedoscience,” if you think it applies to Poe’s Law.

          That’s not what it means firstly, and secondly sociology is science, semiotics is science, and this waffle is masquerading as similar. Calling it a ‘law’ and wheeling it out as evidence contributes to that, convincing impressionable nerds that they need to backhand their jokes to avoid the dreaded downvote
