·On Twitter, where I am active—if not completely obnoxious—tone indicators are advocated in part as a courtesy to neurodivergent* users, many of whom struggle with exactly this kind of thing. Twitter and online discourse in general is a minefield in any case; I've never used tone indicators but I have honestly learned a lot about these issues recently. When I see other members here patiently engaging new users' questions it occurs to me that comments that I am inclined to snap or snark at in response may be coming from someone who is genuinely not trying to be argumentative.

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"
I have a hard time here in Portland because I am from the East Coast. They always think I'm mad. So this is pretty spot on for me.

I couldn't agree more, I'm also from the East Coast. I still don't understand how anything gets done on the West Coast - no one ever directly expresses an opinion.

AND you have to sit in silence for 20 mins while they explain their thoughts when you got the idea five seconds after they starting talking.

·What would I put for- 🤬 stupid idea /fsi
And the New York Times writes this to lead the article.....wtf have they been doing for hundreds of years-with print media
Written language is an imperfect method for the messy, complex business of communication, where facial expressions, gestures and vocal tones transmit oceans of meaning and subtext - for those, at least, who can read them.
