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 ? 😭

    Text can be ambiguous, if only there were some kind of image that would could reliably it indicate the emotional context of your statements.

      Human beings have been corresponding for over two thousand years without emojis. Are you seriously trying to tell me that emojis are some sort of ascended form of communication that 12 year old kids have discovered to the ignorance of everything from small businesses to collegiate academics?
