• TPC use was more intense in SSE posts than non-SSE posts. Auditory TPC dominated.

• Emotional venting blogposts showed a predominance of voice quality TPC.

• Tactile cues in initiating post predicted their presence in feedback.

• Our data suggests socio-contextual uses of TPC within the framework of online SSE.
