One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn’t get a post was a joke.
When I came here it seemed that wasn’t the case but I’ve noticed over the last month a lot of users using it or having -28 points for an off the cuff comment.
I might be just be a bit too bothered by the need to use it.
Downvote me all you want, but for the life of me, I never understood what this meant. Even when reading your post, I’m still confused about it.
And don’t get me started on all the other “letters that succeed a slash” that I have no idea what they mean.
I’m basically f***ing stupid.
They’re all tone indicators, since you can’t communicate voice tone over text.
/s stands for sarcasm, sometimes /srs is used for serious, I’m not too sure what the others stand for but those are the most frequently used from what I’ve seen
/jk is “just kidding”
Got it
