    /s is for people who don’t know that the person is being satirical or sarcastic because the lack the context of intent. For a lot of users the community, user’s instance, or other context provides that context in a fairly reliable manner, but it isn’t perfect.

    I don’t bother with it, but it makes sense conceptually as a way to confirm intent.
