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

        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.

          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)_/¯

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

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

                  Correct usage is "everyone older than the speaker"

                      Mine too, but only because I saw your username two years ago and cribbed your trick.

                        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 use regular emojis, occasionally.

                              And I still like "Dongers"! I'll use it if I want!

                                    I use the voyager app to browse and it has this little text faces that, imo, are better the emojis.
