What's up with the slash s in many people's comments lately ?
A new hype ? Or are these sed (streaming editor) users in disguise ?
/s stands for sarcasm. indicates the user is being sarcastic
t y
It's not a recent thing, been around since the 90s at least
/s stands for serious. Indicates the user being serious.
/s
"/s" means the person is being sarcastic, but there's also a name for this kind of thing: tone indicators. There are several tone indicators out there, all are meant to carry the meaning of the text. If I'm being honest, some tone indicators don't need to exist because they reintroduce confusion for people that need them for the full context.
tone indicators, you can Google them as there are a bunch. Do keep in mind tho: different communities sometimes user different sets of tone indicators /g
/g -> genuine
Wow I only knew about the /s.
Glad to be able to help!
