Early internet days on ICQ, my family members would use lol as "lots of love" which just made some messages hilarious. "Bye, miss you lol!"

lol it’s quite easy if you put it first.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

I’m gen z rather than a millennial, but for me putting lol at the start of a sentence just means I have a 75% chance of putting multiples lol in the sentence.

I’ve recognized this enough times that now when it happens there’s a little alarm that goes off in my head to remove some lols

[-] zip 47 points 2 months ago

As an elder millennial, I don't use "lol," but you'll have to take : ) from my cold, dead hands.

not a millennial but lol

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it’s just another intonation marker, a hedging particle, or a pragmatic tone indicator.

it signals the sentence is for comradery, but not immediate action

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 16 points 2 months ago

Technically a xennial, but yeah it's a necessity lol

My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol

(Now reread it without the lols)

We're all borrowed matter dancing upon the firmament of an indefinable thing called reality, and our conscious existence is nothing more than an emergent property of this farce within a farce, lol

[-] Ichiro_kun@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

For me the thing which i do the most is adding "..." Multiple times between the sentences or at the last of the sentences. 😭

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 2 months ago

I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol

Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn't visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was

"Sure..."

Needless to say, I thought "Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-" and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao

For me and the ppl I chatted/texted with was it mostly smiles like: xD xP XD xd x3 and the laughing was haha, hahahahaha, HAHAHA, sometimes lol and rofl but most of the times were lol used as a way to say "that was weird" or "that is stupid", could also be a question "is it supposed to be funny?" Or a statement about what you said or will say "I am silly" so ppl would know they can find it funny/it is ok to laugh.

I rarely used lol for actually laughing, it was more used as "that/this is silly". I think the younger millenniums said lol and rofl instead of smilies more often but I am unsure about that one.
