I'm Gen Z and I use lol as punctuation at the end of a sentence to indicate a lighthearted tone, just like a ? or ! indicate their respective tones. It's very useful, and I think I'll keep using it lol

It fills a similar niche to tone tags but somewhat less intrusive imo.

    This has how it's always been used as far as I have seen as an older millennial, aside from being used in a form of irony.

    It's an upbeat tone indicator. But it's not the same as sending someone a smile with your text.

    It fills a useful niche. Just like /s also does.
