tone tags

tone tags are being used all around social media (or maybe it's just my social media, who knows). tone tags help neurodivergent people and people who have trouble conveying the tone of a message over text. you can add these to the end of your sentences to indicate the mood or idea of it. they might seem weird, but it prevents distress from not getting the mood of a message.
/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/s or /sarc = sarcastic / sarcasm
/srs = serious
/lh = light hearted
/ij = inside joke
/t = teasing
/nm = not mad
/nbh = nobody here
/nay = not at you
/g or /gen = genuine / genuine question
/th = threat
/cb = clickbait
/f = fake
/q = quote
/l or /ly = lyrics
/c = copypasta
/m = metaphor / metaphorically
/li = literal / literally
/rt or /rh = rhetorical question
/hyp = hyperbole
/p = platonic
/r = romantic
/sx or /x = s*xual intent
/nsx or /ns = non-s*xual intent
/pc or /pos = positive connotation
/nc or /neg = negative connotation

"lol ur such a loser i cant believe you like jessica smh 🙄 /j /s"
"thanks for using tone tags! i would've stopped being friends with you if you were to not indicate the sarcasm!"

tone indicators

symbols that are put at the begining or the end of a sentence to clarify the intention of the message. some examples are: /j (joking), /srs (being serious), s/ (sarcasm)

why do you use tone indicators? /gen (genuine question)
tone indicators help, for example, neurodivergent people. the use of tone indicators makes it easier for them to interpret the tone of a text and avoid miscommunication

Tone Tags

Tone tags help convey tone of voice over text. Often used by those who are neurodivergent.

I advise people to use tone tags to prevent future confusion and distress.

Guide:

/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/ij = inside joke
/c = copypasta
/ly = lyrics
/t = teasing
/lh = light-hearted
/s = sarcasm
/rt = rhetorical question
/srs = serious

/g = genuine
/p = platonic
/r = romantic
/neg = negative connotation
/pos = positive connotation

“I love you!!!! /p”
This could have been read as romantic but the tone tags helps you realize it is platonic love.

Tone Indicator

Tone indicators are used at the end of sentences to show the writers true intent. They are very helpful to neurodivergent people.

Some tone indicators are

/srs = Serious
/j = Joking
/hj = Half joking
/s = sarcastic

/r = Romantic
/p = Platonic
/g or gen = genuine

You're so stupid I hate you /j
I love you /p
You're so cool /s
With out tone indicators, these could have very different meanings /srs
