Never seen anybody using emoji in any community. I did use once or twice, but the way its absent over here, I’m starting to think its part of some implicit rules lemmy has

    Check my post history, I guess. 😅

    They’re helpful in providing the proper context to a text-based convo. IRL, you’d just see my face and body language and hear my tone and understand things better so we have to adjust when texting. This is why people feel like they need the “/s” for sarcasm and whatnot. 👍

      Nope just annoying.

      The best part of anonymous forums is not having any tone.

        Oh my god man get a grip, everyone has a tone over writing, like how yours right now is rude.

        Using emojis just communicates more informality plus whatever the emoji communicates. It’s not annoying to most people, and it shouldn’t be to you

    I think they’re annoying to look at and I have never felt the need to use them to communicate. I think that people who use a lot of emojis are usually stupid.

    Emojis are for people who don’t know how to read/write the local language. No exceptions. That includes ‘native speakers’ of the language who use them. Emoji are a sign of illiteracy and people who use them were failed by their education.
