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 ? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Zoomers replying with a comment of just

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

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.

bro fr said follow reddiquette ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

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

Emojis can express emotions in a way comments cannot

You know if you miss reddit so much I am sure you could just go back there.

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.

reddiquette

I'll take

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

anyday over any pompous computer toucher that whines about "reddiquette." nerd

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. ๐Ÿ˜ค

The spamming of emojis is what I dislike about them. One gets the point across, ten of the same emoji is obnoxious. And those who use emojis are almost always like this.

people actually followed reddiquette,

so, before the digg exodus
