Honestly hard to tell what level of sarcasm we're on. As in either, "Haha, that's how they would reply" or jokingly dismissing what I said as stupid/hypocritical with my sentence twisted. People here usually use "/s" to denote that the prior wasn't serious.

the "use our suggestion box" wasn't so much a hint as a giant sign in flashing neon lights

You'd be surprised how many people talk like that. It's a common way to make fun of someone.

Unfortunately, adding a cringey "/s" takes all the fun out of sarcasm. It's better not to flag it and let the reader be responsible for detecting the sarcasm, at the cost of occasionally being misunderstood.
