I'm a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many
times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you'll get an idea of the
face I'm making, so less chance of misunderstanding I noticed that every time I
add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a
comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got
downvotes.. On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use
emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the
use of emojis So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you
miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
Taking a hardline approach to prescriptivism is the language equivalent of feeling very strongly about one specific year of pop culture and wanting to hit the brakes on the march of time and keep resurrecting, say, Pump Up The Jam.
