Did you even read the link I gave you? It already addresses exactly the scenario you mention. That no matter how obviously sarcastic the comment is, it can still be seen as a sincere comment. Please re-read it.

But TBH in this case I couldn't tell whether the parent comment was sincere or sarcastic. But that's not the point. Poe's law applies even when the comment is obviously sarcastic.
