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 ? 😭

    Zoomers replying with a comment of just

    😭😭😭😭😭

    is the most low effort and stupid type of response. I miss the old days of Reddit where people actually followed reddiquette, and hope that shit doesn't come here.

      This should be acceptable basis for a lemmy wide IP ban.

        If you bothered to read, I'm saying the zoomers took over. That's why I was more than happy to move here. The reddit I joined in 2012 died years ago.

      Boomers, Zoomers and Millenials just collectively ruining everything. And don't think I forgot about those Gen X-ers or Silent Gen bastards. Generations of people just ruining everything, from regular-ass etiquette, all the way to reddiquette too. Fucking generationals! Can't have anything nice without some generation coming around and being it's downfall. 😤
