Made me go and check, but surprisingly lemmy doesn't have an emojipasta community

I would have thought that one would have made the jump

I don't mind them when used appropriately, but remember that us old people may struggle to make out which emoji we're looking at when the text is small.

To my eyes it also looks out of place in professional writing, so I would find it hard to take you seriously if you use emojis in such a context.

TL;DR: in a casual context, go nuts, but avoid for important communication where clarity and professionalism matters.

Emojis make reading slower because you'll pay attention to both emojis and text , and try to understand it

I do them anyways ignore the downvotes live your true self ⓋⒶ🐇

1. At the font sizes I tend to view text in, I can read text clearly but emoji just look like blobs. The details are so small that ALL of the faces look like yellow circles.

2. There are so many emoji, many of them with only slight differences between them, that they render each other meaningless.

3. So many of them are being used as something else and keeping up with their actual meaning is just not worth the time.

Overuse of emojis can also really be annoying for people using screen readers. They clapping hands get clapping hand to clapping hands hear clapping hands something clapping hands like clapping hands this. So it's also an accessibility issue.

I dislike emojis in general.

You only speak one language in a sentence right? How often do you switch between languages in a single sentence?

Emoji are pictograms the same as east Asian languages are pictograms.

Because some people are afraid to have emotion

It definitely depends on the instance, but as a whole it’s probably a bit of carryover culture from the other place where emoji are not generally accepted.

To be fair, i dislike them everywhere

Even from the before times

Because CoOl KiDs DonT UsE eMoTIcOns

I think using one here and there is fine. It's only annoying if there's more than one or if the comment is nothing but an emoji.

I thought lemmy got an emojipasta community when I saw your post 😂

I predate emojis by a bit, they never really caught on with me.

Ngl i use emojis whenever too, i dont think anyone "hates them", ive seen other people use emoticons too [eg, ":)"]

Because "muhh, back in my day on irc there weren't emojis and zoomers use them on tiktok so they're baaaad !!!1!!11!"

I'm sorry if they're a emojoomer and hate progress

Because you look like a ratchet ass ghetto idiot using them.
