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 ? 😭

    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 🙃
