Seemed like emojis in posts / comments would get downvoted to oblivion on Reddit. I don’t see the same thing on Kbin (or other instances / services).
There was a bit of discussion about this on the Lemmy side a few weeks back and the consensus seems to be: you do you.
How refreshing to know. I would have guessed lemmy to be more in keeping with standard reddit, since they got the bigger influx and definitely partake more in the shitpost behavior. It seems the people who made being a dickhead their whole persona really have stayed behind in majority.
Personally, I don’t care hard enough unless it’s several in a row, which I do forsee happening, since it was used solely to annoy in the past. So…not really looking forward to those, but as long as it’s used normally.
I’m enjoying an emoticon renaissance :)
