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 ? 😭
Semi-related, but does any one else feel creeped out by the basic smiley emoji? 🙂
The cold dead eyes peer into my soul with judgement. That’s why I always use a different smiling emoji ☺️
I hate when whatever platform I am on auto-replaces my ‘:)’ with ‘🙂’ - the basis smiley emoji is so unsettling 😅
Yeah, I wish sometimes that software would stop trying to be so god damn helpful. I find Emoji to be kind of loud where emoticons aren’t, and at the very least I know which one I wanted. JUST. STOP. FIXING IT. :p

That took me a second, I find it still slightly unsettling but better than 🙂
Out of curiosity do you struggle with eye contact? Because the main difference I see is the eyes closing in the second one you used.
On WhatsApp I hate the basic smiley because it just looks ugly, so I use the angelic one. 😇
I wonder if there are any studies about the relationship between emoji use and mental health. Because you just read me to filth via my emoji preferences.
I do also like the angel smiley, but I never really use it because I associate it very closely with this one ex 🙃
Tangentially related, but I du recall à study indicating emoji users get laid more often.
is giving big “my autocorrect is set to French” vibes
It’s set to French and English which doesn’t pair well with little to no proofreading.
