Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

    I use them all the time, but I’ve been told it’s frowned upon on Reddit (and once I was told it was cringe).

      It’s as if people on reddit only prefer formal communication 🤔

        IDK why… I mean, smileys where there long before emojis and no one seemed to be bothered by that 🤷.
