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 ? 😭

I find people who use the face emojis generally cringe, emoji symbols are fine. Just a personal opinion though.

I won’t dislike your post, but I generally don’t like it.

What does that emoji at the end of your post mean. Are you physically crying. Is it symbolic to mean you are unhappy or sad or disheartened or something else that I couldn’t think of.

Now imagine if you do a string of those and me trying to figure it out.

I mean with keyboards now, it is probably faster swiping out the phrase :”This saddens me” than that emoji.

For me, it's because of the cringe hexbear memes

I recommend using whatever you need to communicate your point. Free speech in the Fed!
