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 ? 😭
This is a very well written reply ( it felt like I’m reading from a book: designing emojis ), thanks for sharing
I Totally agree with the fact that emojis can be expressive, but limited to the set of emojis you have on your keyboard/platform, and there are facial expressions that humans do alot but they’re not available on any platform!!
I don’t think anyone will look at my post and say : “wow, OP is crying rivers because he misses emojis”
But I think they’re cute, and personally reading a huge paragraph with no pictures or anything, make me disconnect, in all my notes, the titles and the subtitles have emojis in them ✍️
