It's been amusing to see the evolution of things like 'lol' in particular go from ubiquitous to very much frowned on and now back full circle to being a lot more common. I don't think "xD" and friends will come back though, especially with emojis.

Excuse me, my friends and I (but mostly I) use xD and variations extensively.

I actually stopped using it for a long time before unashamedly returning to it. It's just so easy compared to other shows of levity, AND it's scalable. xD is some levity. XDDDDDD is MORE levity. Like with :))))), except that's some psychotic boomer Russian shit. x3 adds a cuteness squee element to it. xP is more playful.

I've not seen "xD" in a long time, but I do see "xd" used as a less-intense version of "xD".
