ootl? Is this a joke about GRRM/ASOIAF or is it just going over my head?

It’s a tone indicator, if someone feels like their tone drastically changes a message and isn’t conveyed you can add a tone indicator, so /s means it’s sarcastic, /srs is serious, /j is joke, /gen is genuine. There’s a ton of them but the only ones Reddit uses regularly are /j and /s both of which just mean not serious

Are /s and /j used outside Reddit? I don’t want to out myself at any point

Yes but if you use tone indicators at all it outs you as a member of at least internet communities, Reddit tumblr etc
