list?

Should the list of tone indicators be expanded? I've seen a lot more in common use, like /neu for a neutral tone, /r for a romantic tone, /lyr or /ly for posting song lyrics, /genq for a genuine question (but it might not be worth mentioning since we already have /gen?)...

@Bludisaster: I added a source with many tone indicators. Feel free to add whatever looks appropriate for the article. ~ AntisocialRyan (talk) 16:28, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear Tone Indicators

I think it would be useful to add a section about unclear tone indicators or criticism of tone indicators, possibly using some points from this video.

I am not against tone indicators, I have found them very useful in my time on the internet. (The /s, /j, and /srs indicators have been especially helpful.) 2603:7080:443B:DB9:C83F:BFD0:7BE:33C6 (talk) 04:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Table too long

The list-of table has way too many entries. It's running afoul of WP:INDISCRIMINATE and the section's contents is not WP:RS-supported ("list of Twitter slang" from a random website). It needs some major culling. Nixinova T C 10:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
