    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.

      It's "boomer" to use emoji? The fuck?

      Emoji were democratized to unhipness, there was a movie about it and all

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

        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.

                                    I miss vBulletin emoticons.

                                    The unicode ones are lame.

                                        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.
