I hated big emojis in the beginning of the Hexbear federation. Disgustingly big emojis filling up my pristine light-themed lemmygrad filled me with rage.

However, my feelings shifted after scrolling through each emoji for a whole week. I began noticing individual details and painstaking craftsmanship that went into their creation. The subtle coloring and contouring of angery, the classic trim of sicko-wistful’s suit, the way that individual pores take on a hypnotic pattern in took-restraint, and so much more. I started to think of them not as just emojis, but a manifestation of Marx’s metaphysical projection onto the hypermaterial world.

To paraphrase the hero of the Catalonian liberation himself, George Orwell, I have won the victory over myself. I love big emojis.

    I thought the whole thing with the big emojis was cause of a glitch in lemmy that causes them to show up big on every other instance except the home one?

      That is revisionist history.

      The correct orthodox interpretation of the phenomena is that Hexbear creates emojis and Lemmygrad enlarges them, completing the dialectics.
