Never seen anybody using emoji in any community. I did use once or twice, but the way its absent over here, I’m starting to think its part of some implicit rules lemmy has

    Oh my god man get a grip, everyone has a tone over writing.

    I disagree. There is no tone on the internet, that is what makes forums work. Emojis suck. Period.

    And I know this because you think my words have a tone. They do not. They are just a statement.

    Edit: I want to add, part of my aversion is that people often just slap whatever the keyboard recommends to them into a sentence, or AI helped write it. They clutter communication, not help it at this point.

    A long time ago, like in the 80’s people actually discussed what would indicate being friendly and they went with :-). But now its dogs, cats, silly clowns, hats, that stupid celebration and starry eyed smiley and so on. Just plain annoying to have to read.
