Acronyms are a pet peeve of mine. Basically useless and now you need tribal knowledge to understand what the hell someone is talking about.
That's true, but it's also true that within a small community sometimes acronyms are necessary. Like, imagine NASA:
"Jones exited the AL in his AES but the C4ISP flagged an error either in the LSPG or WFCA."
vs.
"Jones exited the air lock in his Anthropometric Extra Vehicular Activity Suit but the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Systems Protection system flagged an error in the Life Support Power Generation System or Water Flow Control Assembly"
Insiders can use the acronyms to be much more efficient. Outsiders probably wouldn't even understand what they're talking about even if they did spell things out fully.
The only problem is when acronyms leak and what's a well known and clear acronym in one group becomes a confusing one to another group, or worse is confused for a different acronym from a different group.

CD is Change Directory!
No, that's "cd".

Look I use CD for cooldown too, but in different context lmao
It's pretty common in CRPGs (computer role playing games) and MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas) for an ability that you have to wait before using again.

For those people you want to know that you care enough about them to wish a good morning, but not enough to type out the full words
That's what bugs me about that one.
Saying "good morning" or "good evening" or whatever is a salutation. It's not conveying any real information, it's just ritual politeness. I'm not a big fan of ritual politeness. But, if you're going to do it, don't half-ass it. To me, it's impolite and insincere to half-ass or abbreviate a greeting.
I feel the same way about "GG" and "TX" for thanks. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

Let's fucking go.
Edit: for that matter, "LFG, LFG!" is a grammatically correct acronym sentence.
Oh no... Whelp that's that. I'm officially old.

My latest one was rq.
I thought it was a typo.
It stands for 'real quick'.
I read it as Request...which was close enough to work.

Game Master

No, that's "cd".
Yeah, CD is for Compact Disc! E.g. CDRdao
-
The fact that someone would shorten 'good morning' to 'GM' and go through the trouble to put it in all caps bothers me
Maybe the phone autocorrected it

TMA is a problem. (too many acronyms)
That's My Ass!

Who's up for some AC?

In my friend circle it's very common to use gm as one of the typical greetings
Maybe it's pointless to abbreviate, but let's not pretend language is all logical and rational. There's reasons for why people use it ranging from it being part of your speech identity, to preferring the flow to it, to it taking less space, and so on
A lot of it is just vibes based
I get it. Esp if it was a long night lol
