Textfaces? (͡•_ ͡• ) Regular emoji? 🤔 Old school smileys? :-)
Didn’t know that, thanks :)
A few of those actually use emojis in the kaomoji
I do not use emojis.
ಠ︵ಠ
I think the “regular” emoji feel somewhat out of place here
Why would anyone need to express emotions in a universal language?
🙄

For some emotions there isn’t even an emoji yet.
UwU
And let’s hope there never is.
I miss my forum emoticons.

Do you copy and paste every time you use text emojis with specail characters? Do you have them saved on your phone/computer for easy access?
Sync has a ton built in, so just a button click.

Voyager has some of these built in now
Oh shit I learned something new today. Thanks OP!
If you’re on Windows, press the Windows key and the period key to get the emoji keyboard.
Windows also lets you right click for emojis
Is that a Windows 11 thing? I don’t have that on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.
I only have Windows 10
Hmm, curious! Does it work everywhere? Like, in Word or Excel or whatnot? I have never seen that feature!
oh I don’t know, I don’t really use word or excel anymore. I’ve only seen it work in Chrome cause I’m a filthy Chrome user.
I have them pinned in my phone clipboard xDˣᴰ

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
All of the above.
I resisted using emojis for a long time, but I changed jobs during Covid and was working from home permanently. I suddenly worked with a bunch of people I had never met before, and I realized that these people don’t know my demeanor, so they don’t know how to read my tone. I found emojis are almost necessary to convey tone in this situation. And after that, it kinda stuck.
3 emojis that complete a thought like:
🛩️💥🥂
Celebrating a plane explosion?
I miss my favorite hot dog vendor 😞🌻
General Pringles?
SHOIGU!!!
None and I installed an emoji blocked on firefox.
(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
☜(°ヮ°☜)
Regular emoji is just easier. But I do have a keyboard shortcut for the ¯\(ツ)/¯ which is my main textface, if annoying to edit his arm back in
I wouldn’t use those if Lemmy apps didn’t have them inbuilt ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I am old school :)
ASCII alone already does offer a rather wide range of emotions, no need for unicode. :D

I read somewhere that proper emojis are more accessible for screen readers, so I’ve avoided using the old style smiley versions and textmojis ever since.
what are proper emojis?
😃
This is “proper”: 😀
This is “old-timey”: :D
good to know! 🤩
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”)
Old school smileys :-) because My Keyboard app doesn’t have a emoji board.
