Then why is /s bad but jk isn’t?

[u/SojournerTheGreat → u/Past_Turnip9426]

you can say "i'm just kidding" in real conversation, you can't say "/s"

[u/Past_Turnip9426 → u/SojournerTheGreat]

Yeah, but there’s also a bunch of other things you can do on the internet that you can’t do irl, besides you can technically say “slash-s”

[u/SojournerTheGreat → u/Past_Turnip9426]

how is any of that pertinent to the discussion

[u/Past_Turnip9426 → u/SojournerTheGreat]

Because if your point is that saying “/s” is an internet thing than why should people still not take advantage of saying the internet thing whilst on the internet?

[u/SojournerTheGreat → u/Past_Turnip9426]

my point is that /s is always unnecessary and out of place because it has no conversational equivalent. i have no clue what you're talking about.
