Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

        Well yeah, overreacting is pretty cringe-inducing, I agree. But not the use of emoji as a concept, IMO. I think conveying emotion or intent or tone using them is good for communication in general. Makes things more personal and clear.

        I don’t use emoji because they’re hip, I use them because they have a function. 🤨🤷‍♂️
