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 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.
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.
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
