...i guess at least i can accurately denote what i mean in ways that tone might not always effectively imply, although in some cases it can be a little redundant when i've suggested i've been genuine-- at the same time, other users here can say they're being sincere while being entirely facetious for fun, so idrk... i don't mind them, i even kind of prefer them, but they're easily poisoned and consumed by others' sarcastic irony so it doesn't really allow for that certainty of sincerity from people who love this kind of humor /srs
idk, tonal indicators for me are weird, I don't mind anyone that does use it, however, it's not something I would use myself unless it's ironic as I just did. When i'm talking IRL and I say something ironic or sarcastic, I don't really alter my tone of voice or really give any clues that i'm joking, the people around me understand the joke via how absurd the thing I said is or just the context of the conversation, and that is also how I understand how someone is joking or not. Also I think not changing the voice makes the joke funnier also it comes natural for me, so I feel that if you're not really getting a joke or whatever, tone isn't the problem
probably. i suppose in my case i just have a hard time discerning that, i tend to think of myself as being mostly sincere and upfront, where even my more high-affect typing styles often are still entirely sincere. i understand that by context people can parse what the meaning of something is, but when i don't really know any of y'all well enough to get a consistent picture, that tonal indication does seem to be something that would appear helpful in theory
would it be something people are likely to think is normal when they're used to a high-context environment? it's not like my environments haven't been like that, i've known and befriended people who can be pretty heavily sarcastic/ironic but it's genuinely surprisingly common for me to still unintentionally take them seriously when i don't mean to
this could just be a sort of... socialization "skill issue" of sorts, so-to-speak, but it also often seems more intrinsic than i'd like, even if that might not really be the case
like, in absence of indicators i always just assume "/srs" until i've seen enough of a pattern in people where they're either purposefully "annoying" or something that could readily be seen as "anti-social" and callously sarcastic/ironic, and then i can start reading them as being more "/j" or "/s" oriented. but i heavily doubt anyone ever actually would care to use that, so i never really know
ot, to me and the many years i've spectated here, sounds like a highly sarcastic/ironic place at least in terms of its notoriety. but it's also strangely sincere at the same time. it gets mixed up for me on occasion because of that, and it's not as immediately/readily obvious to me
