why do lemmy users hate the use of emojis ? (infosec.pub)

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

Of all the things to get Ted Kaczynski over, emojis is easily the funniest one

Nah, but it's good to rile up the monkeys every once in a while. Else they sit around jacking and jillies and slipping into the photon coma. Stirs up their blood. Fires a neuron or two.
