I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding
I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes…
On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis
So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
I hate when whatever platform I am on auto-replaces my ‘:)’ with ‘🙂’ - the basis smiley emoji is so unsettling 😅
Yeah, I wish sometimes that software would stop trying to be so god damn helpful. I find Emoji to be kind of loud where emoticons aren’t, and at the very least I know which one I wanted. JUST. STOP. FIXING IT. :p
