      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.
