Complaints about Hexbear in Hexbear defederation posts often talk about emoji size. Even complaints about PPB are usually talking about how big it is. And I mean it’s true, that emoji, among others, is massive on non-Hexbear instances.

on Hexbear: ppb on hexbear

on other instances: ppb on other instances

Obviously PPB and the rest of our culture is cool and good, but it is silly to be defederated because of an emoji scaling bug. Surely we can find cooler reasons to be defederated

    The varying emoji size and dimensions can make it really difficult to read posts, as an outsider. I also think the problem might be exacerbated by different clients. Jerboa for instance really does not like y’all.
