You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called "please respect tables".
There is still a subreddit about this, though it's been abandoned
It would be fun to have it here too! π

I think one of the biggest reasons for the switch from emoticons to emoji can be seen in this thread, emojis are pretty much universally supported whereas a lot of emoticons break Markdown (specifically anything with a backslash or a less-than sign)
How much of the current lemmy base are ex-reddit? I remember emoticons being heavily frowned upon there. It may be a cultural hangover from the rexodus peeps.
