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?
🙄

Your parenthesis don’t match .
I’m sorry.
OwO
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.

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.
Voyager has some of these built in now
Oh shit I learned something new today. Thanks OP!
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 ͡°)☞

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 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! 🤩
I am old school :)
ASCII alone already does offer a rather wide range of emotions, no need for unicode. :D
🫨
Old school smileys :-) because My Keyboard app doesn’t have a emoji board.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
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”)
