Why π€·ββοΈ do users π¨βπ» dislike π the use β of emojis π on Lemmy π?
Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I'm less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content π
At the font sizes I tend to view text in, I can read text clearly but emoji just look like blobs. The details are so small that ALL of the faces look like yellow circles.
There are so many emoji, many of them with only slight differences between them, that they render each other meaningless.
So many of them are being used as something else and keeping up with their actual meaning is just not worth the time.
