The hate isn't nearly as bad as it was on reddit. While I usually don't use them even when I do it's normally not been an issue

Yeah, over there you had some terminally online folks calling themselves the βemoji policeβ who would berate you in the comments if you used an emoji. They even had a role-play subreddit where they would get reports and collaborate.
I've never noticed this to be honest, and I'm a heavy, heavy emoji user. Though I prefer the old-fashioned emoji's. I'd love to use ^_^ more, but the constant backslashes make my pinky hurt :)
Anyway, I like using emoji's because I'm a happy person and want to share a friendly smile :)

I love emoji, the haters will have to pry them from my cold dead hands π€
Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis

In moderation they're totally fine, but for me personally it's just faster to type up an emoticon by hand than it is to search through tons of emojis or even use alt codes on Windows.

I've never noticed anyone here hating on them.
But then again I'm on kbin and it doesn't federate downvotes, so the only downvotes we see are the ones by other kbin people.

Text emojis are fine with me, but I personally don't like yellow spots on my clean black and white screen
My Keyboard don't have emoji on android and on desktop I use Linux(Too Lazy to install a plugin or extension for my DE) :)
