Narrrz,

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

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.

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

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.

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.

WeDoTheWeirdStuff,

I personally dislike them, but do what makes you feel good

I actually think they're a lot less annoying than some of the other attempted expressive shortcuts common to Reddit.

🤦‍♂️ > *facepalm*

And so on. They're obnoxious if they're used like punctuation or in place of entire words and sentences, but to indicate tone I think they're great! 👍

mohKohn,

I'm so used to non-emoji text that they feel like extreme over-emoting

Klear,

I hate all of those examples on both sides.

Drusas,

I find them annoying when overused (using multiple in one comment, especially the trend of putting one between every single word) and when the comment is only emoji, but they're fine in moderation.

Yewb,

Do we really want to communicate in hieroglyphs again?

A little bit yeah, I think we do

I do 👍

RheingoldRiver,

in fact, emojis can really help to convey tone to multilingual speakers when you are saying something with a complicated mood 👍

MrFahrenheit,

Express yourself however you want

Do what you want with them. It doesn't really bother me either way.

I thought that emojis didn't fit in with the aesthetics of reddit and they don't fit in with the aesthetics of kbin either. That said, emoji hate on reddit was dumb and performative because it wasn't about a slight aesthetic preference, it was about seeming cool to the ingroup by attacking people for being normies

Emojis are part of how people speak online, I always found it weird how big a deal people made out of people using them on Reddit
