I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding
I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes…
On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis
So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
See… there’s my point. That emoji doesn’t even make sense in context of what you said.
🤷♂️
And that’s all I need to know to determine that you’re not worth talking to moving forward.
That’s a lot of dischill considering the casual and inconsequential nature of this conversation.
Intelligence comes in more forms than just written language. Words can express emotion, but so can dance, painting, singing, even a glance can express so much. Why do you think it needs to stop at emoji’s? Your inability to understand what they are saying with that emoji is not a failure of the emoji, but your ability to interpret it. That’s like saying dancing doesn’t convey emotion because you don’t know what it is they are trying to convey. Perhaps you just need to learn more ways of expressing emotions?
I was able to understand the entirely of your misguided point without the use of a single emoji.
Imagine that.
🤣
And that’s all I need to know to determine that nothing you’ll say will be of any interest to me moving forward.
🤔😜😆😬😮💨
