wishing text tone indicators were more accepted/used by all cause sometimes i want to send a message to my roommates about cleaning or something and putting /nm, /gen, /neu is so much easier than a whole “not meant to be negative at all just in general”

Sometimes I just put (joke) or (non threatening) etc at the end of the message

Wow, I’ve never heard of these! The more we use them, the more people learn about them and they will be incorporated into life

would your roommate be chill with them if you explained them, even if they don't know them now?

they might! they’re both super nt but one of my roommates had brought them up before from a different context and said something along the lines of “i mean i get it but like it’s kind of dumb” (he did not like the person who sent a list to a group chat) but that turned me away from it pretty badly

yeah that kinda sucks. i'm thinking maybe if you explain it as just shorthand or words like "lol" they might be open to it?
