    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.
