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 ? 😭

    Why do you even give a shit?
    Use as many or as few emojis as you like, why waste your time and energy caring about some imaginary internet points (or worse - if some random stranger likes or doesn’t like emojis)?

      My thoughts exactly. Do downvotes offend you that much? Like, who cares? Just use whatever you want. This is the internet, it’s not that serious.

        Lmfao…
        You posed a question publicly and I answered it, mostly because I was bored and genuinely couldn’t understand why anyone would give a fuck, don’t try to turn your discomfort on me lol.
        Your whole post is about your comments being downvoted, if you can’t see the points, how do you even know in such detail how your comments are being voted? That must mean you are going out of your way to find out… 🤔😂
        (I’ll save you the time replying - I don’t give a shit, I’ll be blocking you and moving on with my life, I would recommend working on caring less what others think of you)
