minus-squaresovietknuckles [they/them]hexagonhexbear6·9 months agoFrom @makotech222@hexbear.net last December: shortcode is the unique signifier for displaying the emoji, i.e. :my-customicon: keywords are extra identifiers to aid in searching through to find emoji. So it should have a stalin keyword and a waluigi keyword link
