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 ? 😭

    Oh, you reminded me with ads that starts with emojis like 🚨 or political posts that are just propaganda…

    I used to see a lot of these on Facebook and Gab ( now ), so I just assume the post is going to be either an ad, fake news or just low effort when it starts with an emoji…

    I like the use of emojis when it’s justified as you say, like : saying that’s delicious followed by 😋, sounds friendly, even Ai like Copilot is doing it now

    And yes they’re cute that’s why I like them… 🐱
