Seemed like emojis in posts / comments would get downvoted to oblivion on Reddit. I don’t see the same thing on Kbin (or other instances / services).

How refreshing to know. I would have guessed lemmy to be more in keeping with standard reddit, since they got the bigger influx and definitely partake more in the shitpost behavior. It seems the people who made being a dickhead their whole persona really have stayed behind in majority.
Personally, I don’t care hard enough unless it’s several in a row, which I do forsee happening, since it was used solely to annoy in the past. So…not really looking forward to those, but as long as it’s used normally.
I’m enjoying an emoticon renaissance :)
We’ve definitely got our share of trolls but I think that’s just par for the course when numbers balloon like they have. I’ve seen a lot of “Reddit” behaviours being called out and nipped in the bud which is encouraging. Could still definitely do with less people trying to make “sublemmy” a thing though 🙄
Honestly I rely on emojis and emoticons to try and indicate tone so it’s been a bit of a relief to not have it be looked down on here. It’s hard enough trying to communicate in text already!
