What are tone tags? Why should I use them? Well, I'm glad you asked!

What is tone?
Tone is what a phrase or statement means or comes across as despite what it's actually saying. examples of tone could be serious, joking, lighthearted, etc.What are tone tags?
Tone Tags / Tone Indicators are things you can include with text to indicate what the tone of it is.Why are they used?
Some people have difficulty picking up on tone. communicating through text only makes this harder due to the lack of audio and physical clues (voice inflection, body language, facial expressions, etc.) tagging what tone you are using can be very helpful for other's understanding of what you're saying, clarification, avoiding miscommunications, etc.When/Where should they be used?
They can be used any time or place you may be communicating through text! There is no limit to how much you use themAnother friendly note!
Using tonetags doesn't always make it less of something. You CAN use /nav for not a vent but that doesn't mean you can get away with a very deep vent. You CAN use /j for something but that doesn't always mean anything. If it's offensive, harmful or anything negative, truthfully the tonetag doesn't help you get away from your actions.

Well, how do I use tone tags?? It's quite simple!
A few examples:
/j = joking
used when saying something in a joking manner
"I'll fight you /j" or "You suck /j"/hj = half joking
used when saying something that is kind of a joke but kind of serious
"Well I am usually right /hj"/s or /sar = sarcastic / sarcasm - "sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say"
used when being sarcastic
"I really love feeling sad /s"/srs = serious
used when saying something you really mean
"I really appreciate you /srs"/nsrs = not serious
used when saying something not too seriously
"you're the worst /nsrs"/lh = lighthearted - "free from care, or seriousness"
used when saying something lightheartedly
"hey leave me out of this /lh"/g or /gen = genuine - "authentic; real"
used when saying something genuinely or when asking a legitimate question
"I'm proud of you /g"
