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 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.

          It’s set to French and English which doesn’t pair well with little to no proofreading.
