>Smol is an intentional misspelling of "small" that expresses affection for animals, people, or objects. (M-W online)
Seems like a perfectly cromulent (apposite) word use.

This kind of comment could be written about almost anything and is fundamentally un-interesting. You chose to write "weirdo" instead of "screwball" or "bozo" and probably think the more modern "weirdo" captures your intent the best. I'm sure the original authors had a similar thought.
It can't be written for pages that use regular English. I think you missed that "smol" is an in group marker. Using such quirky in group markers like that can limit the audience or give some potential readers a bad impression from the readers opinion on such a group. It's fair feedback to suggest that if someone wants to target a larger audience that they should be careful with their language and go back to regular English.

Ok I’m out of ideas.

Good, I think the kind of people who would feel the use of "smol" impacts their enjoyment of this kind of project are not really the target audience anyway.

No, it seems out of place. Normal usage of “smol” is https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/smol>. This does not seem to fit.

#28Since 2013, I have used a laptop made in 2009 as my normal, everyday laptop. I am currently in the process of replacing it, but only because other people have complained about the fan noise.

From your link
> Smol (often paired with lorge or bean), is an Internet slang term used to describe any animal, character, or object that is considered very tiny and cute
So how's that different?

A “group of enthusiasts” is neither an animal, character, or an object. Nor is it “cute”.
