Curate, connect, and discover
not sure about what the consensus on tone indicators is but personally, aside from maybe like /s (sarcastic) and /ref (reference) i don't think they're all that necessary
like ?? most of them can't convey anything more than what using your words can't do already. Many of the abbreviations also mean something else in different contexts which counterintuitively makes communication even more unclear (ie, pos meaning both "piece of shit" and "positive", etc).
that and they operate under the assumption that everyone knows what each one means (especially with more sort of obscure ones like /nf, not forcing or /nm, not mad)
being more clear with your words also just reads more genuinely, eg,
"can you help me study tomorrow? /nf" vs "can you help me study tomorrow? it's fine if not :]]"
"your eyes are really big /pos" vs "i love your eyes !! they're really big n remind me of my cat :D"
i am unfortunately guilty of laughing at slash-derogatory jokes tho </3 ("Deepnest /derogatory" and the like)
