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 don’t personally find it funny but if someone wants to use emojs as a way to potray humor let them humor is subjective a joke that one person may find funny another might not and nothing is a waste of screen space. Everyone should have a right to potray humor or to discuss political ideas freedom of speech if you will

maybe a few things are a waste of screen space i can think of few sick communities on twitter as an example one begining with z that derserve to be in prisonOk, now try using a screen reader on one of those “funny” posts with lots of emojis
