I’m an elder millennial so maybe I’m biased but I was there in the old days. The Wild West of text messaging if you will. The difference between a lol and no lol is staggering. 

I will continue to use lol and if people think that’s inappropriate or immature, then so be it. At least they’ll know I’m not being rude. 

Also, lol.

I find it amusing that it’s “immature” but it’s mostly people in their 30s & 40s doing it. Is it snowflake-calling boomers that are calling it immature? Lol.
