Like a lot of people here, I’m coming from the rexodus and I was just wondering if we still have to lynch people using emojis in their comments?
Just trying to build my personality to fit this new community! Don’t mind explaining why, a yes or no will be enough, I’m not capable of any thoughts process anyway
thanks in advance for the answer.
Never understood why Redditors “hate” emojis. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. So emoji away.

Holdover from the older internet. People used to spam the fuck out of them, and it got real old. Combine that with the hive mind, and you get a rabid hatred of emojis
Makes sense.

This is a pretty bizarre question to me personally.
First of all, we don’t have to do anything. If you mean you were wondering if people will lynch you for using emojis, no clue. Try it and find out.
Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards. The whole point of the fediverse, instances, etc is that you find a community to fit you, not the other way around.
Third of all, this isn’t Reddit with tens of thousands of comments making anything more than a “yes” or “no” irrelevant. People actually have the time and space to consider things and answer them more fully here when there’s less spam.
Finally, the whole idea of a “mob policy” sounds concerning.
Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works We’re on different instances, fine.
But there’s other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.My guess is they have a display name setup and you don’t?

Yup! That’s exactly what’s happening. I intentionally haven’t set one up, because gotta rep my home instance :P

Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away 🚀🌕
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you’re not a serial killer I guess)Based on how well the post was written contrasted with their claimed lack of thought processes I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was half tongue in cheek. But also I agree with not answering just yes or no.
Nobody cares about if you use emojis or not here 😄
I, for one, welcome the ascii overlord. (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)
Lenny on lemmy
Hexbear is currently unfederated, but they will be bringing a ton of custom emojis with them. According to today’s post, that feature is now supported in mainline Lemmy as well (needs to be enabled by instance admins).
Good news is that it doesn’t seem like the other users here mind all that much (for now).
Please put emojis or pictures in your posts & comments ! (But please also avoid 4k sized pictues, most of lemmy instances have bad CSS (displaying nicely things) for the moment)
Emojis are another means to express human intent. Don’t mold your personality over what other people might like.
