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 ? 😭

    People here are acting like regular words have no ambiguity or possibility of misinterpretation.

      So because of that you chose to act as if emoji was a perfectly clear means of communication?

      If anything, a combination works best.

        I never even use emojis. I’m just saying that ambiguity isn’t an emoji-specific problem.
