  1. "/s" tone indicator should just intuitively stand only for "sarcasm", because it taking less effort than being serious correlates to indicator's length. "ar" part that comprises "/sar" is simply redundant. /ser

  6. For #SellOut #Indigenous folks - don't even try to #TonePolice me because I'll flush out your #unethical crap faster than you could piss your urine out. Stop fucking over your own peoples for fast #colonial #corporate bucks - ya fucking #colonized asshats.

  7. Public Service Announcement

    If you call someone “kid” on the internet, it’s tone is sometimes condescending.

    “You’re a sweet kid” is probably not condescending.

    “You got that, kid” is probably condescending.

    I don’t care if you’re old enough to be their parent or grandparent, don’t do it unless you want to be condescending.

    It’s the equivalent of an Aussie calling you “mate” … you aren’t their mate, they think you’re an idiot … or an American calling you “champ.”

  8. Trying to #tonePolice folks who are genuinely trying to reconnect with their lost ancestry due to genocide & oppression is colonial AF. Please understand that #BloodQuantum is a messed up #colonial construct. Please don't do the splitting work that colonial govts want you to use. Please call IN your own sellouts & expose them, if they refuse to respect your community & take colonial $$ to f**k your community over. Don't say sorry for that!

  19. ⬆️ @jwildeboer

    One of the major flaws in #ActivityPub is the #block feature that shifts moderation powers away from moderators and into the hands of #tonePolice.

    Any influential account can abuse that power to carry out #vigilanteJustice on a whim and permanently blacklist anybody from their large following.

    This goes beyond muting or blocking someone from oneself, as the effect is transitive.

    This risks stratification of social web by elites with no regard for diversity of opinion or tone.

    I'm always grateful when someone helps me recognize a blind spot. I didn't put those there & I sure tf don't want them there!
    When wytfolks make it hard for anyone who calls them out (esp the #TonePolice 👮‍♂️) they're demanding permission to continue supporting a murderous & unsustainable edifice of hatefulness
    Not getting that from me, y'all

  27. A handy response for when someone doesn't like what you say, but couches it in terms of how you're saying it -- i.e., playing the tone police.

    "Everything I said is true. If the truth makes you look bad, that's a `you problem`."

  32. Form-triggered bot idea:

    Lots of people are complaining about unpleasant interactions that I think you could sum up to an experience of being disrespected.

    HOWEVER, when a person is frequently disrespected because of common cultural habits, it is exhausting and potentially dangerous for that person to directly respond to the interaction. #TonePolice #mansplaining
