I’m not throwing any shade at anyone’s comment I just read less than 5 seconds on SH, I promise…

If someone asks for a TL;DR, I wouldn't mind. At least, they are interested in what you are saying. Providing a TL;DR also helps language learners.
Of course, it depends on the general attitude.

Sharing a TL;DR summary is different from simply declaring it.
“Too long, didn’t read” as a stand-alone sentence is an asshole move and only serves to detract from motivation to share theories and ideas.

I try to assume people online have good intentions until they give me a reason not to. "TL;DR?" conforms to netiquette.
"You lost me at" does not, and is indeed rude af.

If you post a long theory and do not include a TL;DR, then it is normal that people come forward to request it. Do that in a mailing list, and people will chew you up. On a message board, it is optional but still very helpful.

Adding a question mark is very different.
I haven’t been talking about requesting. I’m talking about declaring it.

I'd say the question mark is implied if it is abbreviated. Assuming otherwise is assuming bad intentions. Also, edit previous for brain hickup.

The urge to write "TLDR" is strong, even though I read everything.

LOL! I appreciate you resisting! But also appreciate you telling me about it, because that’s me fr fr, and hilarious too!

Again, all of these statements have something that imply it’s a statement.

Assuming something ends in a question mark is silly to me anyway, but it’s stuff like “Yeah no, TL;DR” or “Bruh. TL;DR”

Stop trying to defend these people.

The times I am complaining about, they weren’t writing it with the best intentions.

Personally, I assume periods for everything unless in caps or it has one of the “what”, “how”, “where”, etc. They need to end it with a question mark or exclamation otherwise.

Regardless, in the instances I think of, even assuming the nicest punctuation possible, it’s no dice with what they include with the TL;DR.

And assuming a question mark is looking at the world through rose-tinted lenses, because I have yet to ask for a clarification, and not receive a clarification that they were being dismissive.
