😬 Is a fun one. Or if someone’s doing something sketchy / kinda nonsensical but I don’t plan on intervening, I’ll go with 👀 🍵 or 💅

Also OOTL wy reddit hates them so much

I'll say this though : if you ever catch me use 🙃 , take me out back and shoot me like Old Yeller ‼️

I think reddit things that emojis are cringe because "normies" use them 🙄

Only if they're OG emoticons. Get those emojis off my lawn. /oldman

why does it have a nose ☹️

rustyfish, 10 months ago

It has never been a problem. You do you. I use them myself from time to time. On IM I even use them all the time. I think people have less of a problem with emojis themselves but more with people who use them in a stupid way. You know what I mean.

You: [Make a well thought out argument for X]

Them: Oh! You really believe X?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just won the discussion. Delete your account, you are blocked, byebye!

I made a friend recently who likes to use the plant emoji. It's really sweet and refreshing, and it feels calming somehow. She's very nice to me 🌱

Emojis are fine as a general thing; it's when the tween memelords can't post one without at least four more in a row that I get disgusted.

There should be a decent ratio of actual content to emojis.

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

They aid in communication, especially to convey tone, or sarcasm, or simply the user's feelings. What's not to ❤️?

weremacaque, 10 months ago

Eh, I don’t really like them but that’s mainly just the art style. I didn’t mind when forums would have smiley faces and stuff because people usually didn’t overdo them.

You can also hit ⊞ Win + . and go to the emoticons section.

Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren't the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it's really a breath of fresh air

numbscroll, 10 months ago

Same! I lurked a lot on Reddit because even trivial comments felt like they’d get picked at (or more often just not result in additional conversation). Here I feel much more comfortable typing and not second guessing. Feels good.

princessofcute, 10 months ago

Yeah I lurked for a long time on Reddit since one of my first posts on there got downvoted into oblivion by said toxic users, so I was afraid to post or comment for a long time. Here is definitely a lot more comfortable

Lunyan, 10 months ago

Me too! I was on reddit for over a decade but mostly just lurked. Here I feel way more inclined to comment, maybe because it's smaller?

mrbigmouth502, 10 months ago

I'm OK with them. There's definitely such a thing as overusing them, but I think they can be useful for conveying tone.

lavender, 10 months ago

Us vs. them is as bad as ever. Just use emoji if you want, but don’t overuse them? Live and let live I say.

Eggyhead, 10 months ago

I don’t really use emojis because hunting specific ones down can feel like a chore and I wouldn’t even know which ones were appropriate. That said, I could care less if others use them.
