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 ? 😭
Or is it? Emoji designs can vary wildly between devices. Most notably the gun emoji, which is (was?) Either depicting a water gun, or a real gun, depending on the device.
(In this case you’re correct though, it is in fact a tortoise on every device listed here. But that emoji is named turtle!)
