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 ? 😭

    All of this because you want to call people “insane” in a way that is comfortable to you without pushback, the same way that people wanted to say the n-word and use homophobic slurs without pushback like in the early 2000s.

      Once again, I did not call them insane. The message they typed was “insane” as in extreme, to be specific an extreme case of lacking periods. That word is not used for the medical condition anymore. It hasn’t been in a very long time. Just like “awesome” isn’t something that inspires reverence anymore. Man, you’re annoying.

        Once again, you need so very badly for your very cool and cromulent word choice to be vindicated, resenting being told otherwise as if you’ve been told to eat your veggies and go to bed at a reasonable time because you have school tomorrow.

        Man, you’re annoying.
