i really don’t like tone indicators

i was in a discord server, and this one user was using them

and i didn’t know what they meant (they were numbers enclosed in curly brackets)

so i asked what they meant

and this person got really angry, telling me “you aren’t even paying attention” and “let people clarify what they mean”

like, dude (the person was he/him), calm down, i don’t know what “{23}” means, please just tell me so i can understand what your saying

I agree with copperfish below, as some who uses tone tags and are relatively important to me I’ve never seen numbers in brackets and probably couldn’t understand them. “/j, /gen, /s” ftw

good: /j, /s, etc.

bad: numbers enclosed in curly brackets
