        quite ironically, they are using syntax, specifically / , to indicate a specific kind of meaning afterward.

        /sarcasm

        /s

        /joking

        /j

        I’ve seen all these used to more explicitly indicate that the previous statement was sarcastic, or a joke, due to irony being largely dead, but also to help with people may not natively read/speak/write english.
