In New York AAVE slang, 'fake' is used as an adverb which, rather strangely, is synonymous with 'seriously', 'really', etc.
The word used in this sense is prone to causing confusion for out-of-towners. For example, a New Yorker might say, 'I'm fake rich', meaning that he is really rich, but most AAVE-speakers outside of NYC would interpret this statement to mean that he is not really rich.

New Yorker: Yo, the girl I been talking to said she fake like me.
Out-of-towner: Fake like you? So, she don't like you?
New Yorker: Nah, I mean she really like me.
Out-of-towner: Y'all New York niggas' lingo mad weird.

An internet forum neologism with approximately the same function as a traditional postscript (ps). As with postscripts (pps), multiple fake edits can be and often are stacked after a post, although the conventions for doing so aren't really standardized.
The most pressing need for the postscript faded away with the advent of word processors, which added the ability to simply insert a later thought directly into its proper location in the body of a message. Still, the convention lingers on, though interpretation of whether a particular instance is the result of pure habit, of mild laziness, or of a desire to draw attention to a particular point will depend on its context.
