When someone types "AFK", they are letting others know that they are stepping away from their computer or device and will not be able to respond immediately. This is a polite way to inform others of your absence and avoid confusion or frustration.
Here are some examples of how AFK is used in chat:
- "AFK, be back in 5 minutes."
- "AFK, gotta grab a snack."
- "BRB, AFK for a bit."
AFK is a widely recognized acronym and is understood by most people who participate in online communities.
