I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding
I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes…
On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis
So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
That was a joy to read!
Reading a book this morning where an alien is confronting a human military commander (on screen) about an extraordinarily fraught situation.
The alien AI translates the human’s face and body language, and gets it right, but it’s second best guess was also correct!
“Must be the first one. No way humans can express 4 contradictory emotions with just facial muscles.”
What book, I’m trynna read it
