Tone tags / indicators (1 Viewer)

Hi, all! I decided to make this thread about tone indicators! Tone indicators are things people use to help others interpret their tone. Many neurodivergent people (and some neurotypical people) Have issues making out tone through text. Anyways here you go ! Here's a list ^ ^





/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/s or /sarc = sarcastic / sarcasm
/srs = serious
/nsrs = not serious
/lh = light hearted
/g or /gen = genuine / genuine question
/ij = inside joke
/ref = reference
/t = teasing
/nm = not mad
/lu = a little upset
/nf = not forced
/nbh = nobody here
/nsb = not subtweeting
/nay = not at you
/ay = at you
/nbr = not being rude
/ot = off topic
/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
/a = alterous
/sx or /x = sexual intent
/nsx or /ns = non-sexual intent
/pc or /pos = positive connotation
/nc or /neg = negative connotation

Thank you for this, it’s quite helpful

Personally I just /j a lot because of my sense of humour. It can be interpreted that I’m serious but I’m not

Ah, you're welcome ! /gen

I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I should put into practice the others though. What bothers me though is when tone tags are used for obvious things like “I’m going to the store /srs” like there’s no other way to interpret it

Yeah at that point I'm just like-- 'do I look dumb to you?'

It’s helpful when things can be interpreted multiple ways but thanks captain obvious /sarc

I think you could actually ask a mod if they think this is worth making a sticky thread, the thing is idk where they'd put it, but I think it's pretty helpful information!
