Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

    I’m quite happy to not see emojis spammed everywhere, I can deal with an emoticon or two - more so if actually useful for setting tone - but much more than that and you’re pushing it.

    I tend to associate posts peppered with emojis with either immaturity or those out of their depth when it comes to technology. I’m sure it’s not always true but it does seem to correlate well with either kids or those whose typing method includes just tapping on the emoji whenever their phone keyboard suggests it.
