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).

    I’m in the “Use em if you wanna as they can easily accentuate points you try to make, and can help with understanding tone, but if you put more than like…3-4 max in 1 comment you should probably rethink your life” camp.

      Agree… or the comments that are solely emoji. Unless it’s meme I’d rather see actual thoughts in text format.

    I am fine with them, especially since they can be used to indicate the tone of a comment that would otherwise be difficult to discern. However, when you do that every other word as emoji thing (like the various copypasta that go around) or you put hand claps after every word, then I will hate you for the rest of my life and haunt you from the grave.

    I made a friend recently who likes to use the plant emoji. It’s really sweet and refreshing, and it feels calming somehow. She’s very nice to me 🌱
