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).

    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.

    I am fine with them, especially since they can be used to indicate the tone of a comment that would otherwise be difficult to discern. However, when you do that every other word as emoji thing (like the various copypasta that go around) or you put hand claps after every word, then I will hate you for the rest of my life and haunt you from the grave.

    Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren’t the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it’s really a breath of fresh air

      Same! I lurked a lot on Reddit because even trivial comments felt like they’d get picked at (or more often just not result in additional conversation). Here I feel much more comfortable typing and not second guessing. Feels good.

    Idc for their usage , I use them myself sometime ❕

    Also OOTL wy reddit hates them so much

    I’ll say this though : if you ever catch me use 🙃 , take me out back and shoot me like Old Yeller ‼️

    It has never been a problem. You do you. I use them myself from time to time. On IM I even use them all the time. I think people have less of a problem with emojis themselves but more with people who use them in a stupid way. You know what I mean.

    Them: Oh! You really believe X?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just won the discussion. Delete your account, you are blocked, byebye!

    I made a friend recently who likes to use the plant emoji. It’s really sweet and refreshing, and it feels calming somehow. She’s very nice to me 🌱

    I actually think they’re a lot less annoying than some of the other attempted expressive shortcuts common to Reddit.

    🙄 > /s
    😝 > jk
    🤣 > lol
    🤦‍♂️ > *facepalm*

    And so on. They’re obnoxious if they’re used like punctuation or in place of entire words and sentences, but to indicate tone I think they’re great! 👍
