the /hj tone indicator is worse than useless

my thoughts on the /hj (half-joking) tone indicator, and somewhat on tone indicators (or tone tags) as a whole, coming from the perspective of an autistic person who often has trouble inferring what people mean through text online. featuring jan Kesi (ChatterCat), who you might know as the cowriter of the toki pona lesson course series. she has her own youtube channel now! [] 00:00 - intro 01:35 - /s and /j 05:18 - okay but like which half is the joke 11:59 - im going to buy an absurd amount of orange juice /hj 14:53 - the bigger picture (this twitter account is a bot now)
