I think of this place as more spoken English than written. The analogy would be we're sitting in a bar. That's why side topics and threads getting off track don't bother me much. It's how group conversations go.
I mean, I use gonna and wanna from time to time.
I've also noticed I've cut back on commas. Fat fingers and small keyboards it's one less thing to enter.
Same with question marks. How are ya
The meaning comes through.
