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).
👍
Just use them with tact and I don’t think anyone really cares - on reddit or on here
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 :)
Emojis are part of how people speak online, I always found it weird how big a deal people made out of people using them on Reddit
I’m in the “Use em if you wanna as they can easily accentuate points you try to make, and can help with understanding tone, but if you put more than like…3-4 max in 1 comment you should probably rethink your life” camp.
Agree… or the comments that are solely emoji. Unless it’s meme I’d rather see actual thoughts in text format.
