Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

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

Please respect tables

It would be fun to have it here too! 😄

I use them all the time, but I've been told it's frowned upon on Reddit (and once I was told it was cringe).

In chats I use emojis very often, but I here I feel like some emojis may not show properly, so I avoid them. Though here I tend to use smiles and such :)

I just find the generic yellow emojis used on most platforms annoying. Forums, Discord servers, or other sites that have custom emojis or older-looking "smilies" are more appealing to me.

I'm too old to understand Zoomer hieroglyphics and I'm too young to use them like hashtags and/or punctuation the way Boomers do.

I manly use them in place of physical gestures.🤷‍♂️
