Textfaces? (͡•_ ͡• ) Regular emoji? 🤔 Old school smileys? :-)
A few of those actually use emojis in the kaomoji
Didn’t know that, thanks :)
just fyi, Matrix has custom emojis per instance and custom to the user like discord does.

Personally, I’m OK with emoji as long as you don’t spam them (3+ times the same emoji is spamming imo)
1 emoji for a normal expression
2 emoji for a heavy expression
3 emoji is still acceptable but my personal limit of tolerance
I’ve always read 3+ back to back as a form of satire or sarcasm
I mainly encountered boomers when reading more than 3 emoji
Twitch emotes baseg
I do not use emojis.

I think the “regular” emoji feel somewhat out of place here
Why would anyone need to express emotions in a universal language?
🙄
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ಠ︵ಠ
I don’t use them on Lemmy, nobody else really does so it seems out of place. If I’m talking to one of my friends, it’s a different story.
big fan of the old school blob emoji with cat ears
Emojis like these are built in… 😺 🙀 😻 🐈
Not quite the same, but you can just type :cat and it pops up a quick list.
I gratuitously use cat emoji don’t worry. It’s not the same without blobby though.
Haha fair enough!
I use text emoticons like I always have :D
I miss my forum emoticons.
OwO
For some emotions there isn’t even an emoji yet.
UwU
And let’s hope there never is.

Also all of the agony ones
I like the cowboy one.
It’s like I’m suffering but in a lil hat.
All of them
My usage is fairly restricted:
- old school :^) for non-sarcastic irony
- (¬¬) for eye rolling
- shorthand emojis (e.g. if talking about Stardew Valley, instead of “the four hearts event” I might type “the 4♥ event”)
- as a way to avoid a specific word for metalinguistic reasons (e.g. “⟨dog⟩ is the signifier, 🐶 is the signified”)
