      Well, you see, the way human communication works is that we use details from our surroundings called “context”. A big part of that context is what’s called “human expression”, which includes “facial expressions” and “hand gestures”, which we use to “indicate” that we are joking.

      That’s the purpose of tone indicators. Sorry, you’re wrong, ending a comment with /s does nothing to reduce the effectiveness of the joke.
