I find them annoying when overused (using multiple in one comment, especially the trend of putting one between every single word) and when the comment is only emoji, but they’re fine in moderation.

Express yourself however you want

I personally dislike them, but do what makes you feel good

I actually think they’re a lot less annoying than some of the other attempted expressive shortcuts common to Reddit.

🙄 > /s
😝 > jk
🤣 > lol
🤦‍♂️ > *facepalm*

And so on. They’re obnoxious if they’re used like punctuation or in place of entire words and sentences, but to indicate tone I think they’re great! 👍

I am fine with them, especially since they can be used to indicate the tone of a comment that would otherwise be difficult to discern. However, when you do that every other word as emoji thing (like the various copypasta that go around) or you put hand claps after every word, then I will hate you for the rest of my life and haunt you from the grave.
