It’s just a way people indicate tone. Online communication is developing its own grammar and punctuation rules to get around the shortcomings of written language to succinctly express emotion/intent
Written language is evolving, the period being the pointed end to a sentence may lead to a new punctuation mark as the period only becomes “ok” as a separator.
Or maybe we go full comma, that would be weird, I think, yeah,
I just went through 4 years of university as an elder millenial, the youngins still feel this way and I honestly thought it was a Gen Z thing. I’d never encountered the punctuation issue before I decided to go to school again
definitely not just a millennial thing, I’ve had gen Z friends call me out on using proper punctuation in online messages lol
