“ welcome! “ this is a guide on tonetags, how to use them, and what some of them are. “ what’s a tonetag? “ tone indicators, or tonetags, are thingies you put at the end of your comment to indicate the tone. [for example, “you’re a great friend!” can be perceived as either genuine or sarcastic, depending on who’s reading. to avoid this, you can put “you’re a great friend! /gen” to indicate that the comment is genuine, and you mean what you’re saying. these can be good when talking to someone who easily misunderstands tone, like me. although some people are uncomfortable with, or triggered by tonetags. if someone asks you not to use them, they’re not ableist or trying to be rude. “ what are all the tonetags? “ here’s a list of the most commonly used ones. this is not all of them!!! /gen or /g - genuine /j - joking /hj - half joking /genq or /gq - genuine question /sarc or /s - sarcastic /hsarc - half sarcastic /srs - serious /hsrs - half serious /ncfy or /nc - no context [for you] /pos - positive /vpos - very positive /neg - negative /vneg - very negative /neu - neutral /lu - little upset /vu - very upset /nm - not mad /nf - not forcing /p or /pl - platonic /r - romantic /nay - not at you /nbh - nobody here /cwh - coping with humor /ly or /lyr - lyrics /ref - reference /dkm - don’t kill me /lh - lighthearted those are all the tone tags i see often and what they mean! if you’re somewhere like the gaehive or gwdfi you can expect to see these used a lot. “ signing off. “ that’s basic knowledge on tonetags! i’ve been thinking on making more informational type projects and i hope you enjoy them! i also felt there was a need for a project on tonetags as the most used studio for it is getting pretty outdated. “ thanks for reading!! “
