minus-square@Prunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink1•1 month agoI don’t really see how this is comparable. The thing about tone-tags isn’t being a shortcut, but rather mitigating the lack of tone transmitted via text. It’s also for accessibility, to help neurodivergent people not get confused. Mixing up /s and /j is decremental to that cause. The “problem” goes away if enough people adopt it. /s has seen wider adoption, why not the rest of the tone-tags set?
minus-square@Dagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•1 month agoIt takes less time to write something like “reference” or “joking” than it does to try and memorize the list.
minus-square@Prunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink1•1 month agoYou don’t need to memorize the full list. Most of the tags make mnemonic sense. What did you think the “/j” meant?
minus-square@Dagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•1 month ago I’ve seen “/s” and never saw “/j” before. Personally, I thought it was a typo of /s. sarcastic is a long word, whereas ‘joke’ is only four letters; that’s two more than ‘/j.’ Like I said, your shortcut doesn’t really save time.
