Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

    I’ve always found it annoying, can’t speak for the rest of the Fediverse.

        I said this elsewhere above, but I think they definitely can add something, it often is tone, which doesn’t appear in text.

        Same line, 4 meanings, I’m sure you can do more, but it can let someone know you are joking if you laugh, instead of having to put /s or such
