Emojis and Lemmy
-
I actually prefer emoji-lite conversation, meaning emoji is there to enhance the comment/text, and not mere spamming of one. Like for example
"i don't think i can do that
" kinda feels lighthearted with the emoji than without it. But "i don't think i can do that 
" is just pure obnoxious, to me at least. I'm not gonna chastise anyone for doing that of course.Also i do prefer kaomoji more ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Where do you get your kaomoji?

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

Why a boomer of all things? O.O
"Boomer" has become a general insult for "out of touch"

Because my millennial ass still uses emoticons :l
Stay true, sister

That made me realise of one thing, if I'm on PC I have no idea how to write an emoji. I don't even know if they're available, I imagine they are, but not a clue of how.
I think this is probably a big part of it actually. If you're inserting emojis you're probably on a phone, so you're probably interacting with the discussion in a quite different way than if you were on a PC. It's not as comfortable to write longer, better-thought-out comments.
People pick up on these implications and judge people accordingly.

wrote last edited by [email protected]No specific site, i just search kaomoji and then copy those i like, then on swiftkey i pin those copied kaomoji on the clipboard so it's saved. Sometime i create one that i can't find on those site, like this one
¯\_( ´ _ `)_/¯It sort of have different feel as this shrug commonly found
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha I see. I do the same but I steal from my friend and pin them to my HeliBoard.

That's like greeting a toddler and asking parents why she's lice-free.

It's "boomer" to use emoji? The fuck?
Emoji were democratized to unhipness, there was a movie about it and all

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

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.
