In what ways do you communicate online?
Keyboard communicators
Trying to say something
Innocent or funny
Message not received
Lost in translation
From intent
To perception
Misunderstandings
Disagreements
Explaining
Begets
More misunderstandings
Text is tone deaf
What is wrong with us?
“It's Amy,” I said. 
Ah, the dying art of communication. And the changing rules. I read somewhere somewhat recently that a “thumbs up” emoji is considered passive aggressive by some people. Trying to be cool with someone and unbeknownst to you, they’re on the other end thinking you’re an ass for flashing them a thumbs up.

I’ve read that, too. The rules constantly change – it’s part of the problem with communicating online

Exactly. I’m not going to get where I’m supposed to be if you hand me a new and completely different roadmap at every rest stop lol

I so agree about miscommunication and misunderstandings. Tone deaf indeed. Great poem.

But it’s nice way to communicate when you can’t talk face to face,,

It is, but often there is a miscommunication in tone. People can take a comment the wrong way, and it causes major issues
