Emojis and Lemmy

"Boomer" has become a general insult for "out of touch"

Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

My whole name is emojis.
️Mine too, but only because I saw your username two years ago and cribbed your trick.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use them almost exclusively as reactions or to convey tone — and even then, the music notes get used most often, to indicate singing
since lemmy lacks reactions (beyond voting), I rarely have cause

Emoji were democratized to unhipness, there was a movie about it and all
I don't use emoji because they're hip, I use them because they have a function. 🤨

I don't really care why, just glade it's the case.

I use regular emojis, occasionally.
And I still like "Dongers"! I'll use it if I want!

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use the voyager app to browse and it has this little text faces that, imo, are better the emojis.

I feel offended and personally attacked, but I agree

Because my millennial ass still uses emoticons :l
Same. Old habits die hard X^D, I'm trying to keep things fresh ocationally adding a lil nose.

I've had someone question whether I'm a bot or not because I use so many emojis 🥲
Well are you?

I've never been against them globally, just depends on the community theme. They're inappropriate on serious communities I think still.
String four
together on a debate board and the urge reach through their screen and strangle them like Homer and Bart becomes intense. -

And yet here you are. On a reddit clone.

Well yeah, overreacting is pretty cringe-inducing, I agree. But not the use of emoji as a concept, IMO. I think conveying emotion or intent or tone using them is good for communication in general. Makes things more personal and clear.
Right - but that is generally how I see them used here already. More emoji would bring things up to boomer level.
