I don’t care either way, but I always thought it was funny how reddit was so vehemently anti-emoji

    Use emojis as if you were a boomer who has just discovered their existence 👌👌👌😄😍😍😍

    Policing how people choose to express themselves is peak Reddit. Let’s not do that.

    I’m not really interested in preserving the more pedantic and pointless norms from Reddit. I’m kinda looking forward to seeing what culture emerges here. I don’t tend to use Emoji much because they don’t occur to me. The text messaging services I grew up with didn’t support them for the longest time, so we had emoticons, or would just use role play tags like * shrugs*. The only real trend that actually bothers me with Emoji is when people type out words, then use the corresponding emoji after it. “Hey guys 👬 I just got back from the store 🏪 and took a picture 📷 of my cat 🐈.” Thanks Tiffany, but I knew what most of those words meant.

    Why would you want this place to be like reddit on such small, insignificant details? Building an independent, unique identity beyond reddit alternative should be the plan.

      Agreed, we need to move beyond Reddit. I personally want to see this (and honestly the Fediverse as a whole) shepherd the internet and social media into a new era more akin to the old internet. Reddit as a platform was destined to fail, imo.

    Never really understood the hard-on redditors got when it came to hating emojis, some are really cute, like this llama! 🦙🦙🦙
