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

      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.

                          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.

                                      I believe that there's an inverse relationship between number of consecutive emoji and ability to hold a conversation. Doubly so if it's four clowns.

                                        I mostly use emojis as either a quick reaction or as a way of acknowledging that I read something someone I know sent me. They make a lot less sense in places like Reddit or Lemmy, where interaction is more impersonal and commenting doesn't feel worth it unless you have something substantial to say.
