Never seen anybody using emoji in any community. I did use once or twice, but the way its absent over here, I’m starting to think its part of some implicit rules lemmy has
i just try to write fast so i dont have time to use emoji’s
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I see Lemmy as an older crowd that prefers ASCII emotes. Although the do work in some situations.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it’s just personal preference 🤷♀️
Depends.
I rather use these: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Check my post history, I guess. 😅
They’re helpful in providing the proper context to a text-based convo. IRL, you’d just see my face and body language and hear my tone and understand things better so we have to adjust when texting. This is why people feel like they need the “/s” for sarcasm and whatnot. 👍
My “I’m being kidnapped, send help” secret code is “I start using emoji”
Emojis remind me of LLM slop
God I hate the emojis used as bullet points trend so much, it looks so tacky and is the biggest immediate sign of a vibecoded slop project

I really don’t understand where it even came from. It’s not like people were consistently using them as bullet points in the training data…at least not to the extent that LLMs are making it a trope.
Honestly AI output mimiking linkdiots posts is terrible
I think they’re annoying to look at and I have never felt the need to use them to communicate. I think that people who use a lot of emojis are usually stupid.

I probably use the 🙃 emoji most.
Because it does not really have an equivalent in ASCII emoticons.
(: unless you’re tilting your head the wrong way to read it of course

I’m probably looking at it wrong, I can’t figure out what else it could be.

I’ve always been of the opinion that one can use their words. I’ve never read anything with emojis crammed in where I felt they’ve added anything of substance. It just seems lazy and a bit trashy.
Yes. I’m well aware I’m a curmudgeon. I make no apologies.
I use them once in a while. Also, I have two in my username.
I noticed you used one in a comment a month ago. Be the change you want to see. 😁
I’ve been conditioned over time to not use them on internet forums but I use them a lot when texting. So it feels kind of weird to see one around on a Lemmy comment but I don’t hate them
For me it’s part of non-verbal communication and empathy when used to add context to what you’re trying to communicate. But I don’t use it online either… I think it’s because some forums don’t enable them or it’s not practical if you’re on a desktop per example. Maybe that’s why the Internet is so miserable 😅
t(-_-t) emoji can eat a dick
