Originating form /s and /j in early internet culture, standing for sarcasm and joking, since they can't be communicated easily over text. They were based on the end tags in HTML (i.e. "</sarcasm>").
Newer ones were created on Carrd and are predominately used on TikTok, Twitter, Discord. These include /gen for genuine, or /srs for being serious.
While they may help some autistic and those mentally ill and were created for neurodivergent people, they can also cause communication to be more difficult or be a trigger for anxiety. Especially since they're sometimes used to troll or make fun of people. They're also often criticized for being confusing and needing to have a Carrd open to understand what someone is trying to say.
Always ask if a person is okay to use tone tags for them or not, don't assume.
