Meaning depends on context
The same abbreviation can mean different things in a game, a group chat, or a comment thread. Look at the surrounding message, the platform, and the relationship between the people chatting before choosing an interpretation.
Slang also changes over time and across communities. Treat definitions as a helpful starting point, not a rule for how someone must use a phrase.
