What πͺ means
In daily chats the axe is used for outdoor work: splitting firewood, camping, cabins and lumberjack style hobbies. It also carries the common English idiom "to get the axe", meaning to be fired, cancelled or cut from a budget or a show, so πͺ can stand for layoffs or a series being axed. People use it playfully for cutting someone out of their life or ending a bad habit. It can also appear in horror movie talk. Tone is mostly practical or joking, though in angry messages it can feel aggressive, so context matters.
