I'm not a fan of emojis. They tend not to contribute anything to the discussion and make your reply appear childish in the same was as adding 'lol' as a prefix to your message.

I use smileys (and I used them back on reddit too). But i wish the webapp had emoji aliasing built in! :smile:
my windows keyboard comes with a key that is just a smiley ๐ and if i tap it i get this emoji selection thing as if i were on mobile. useful for that zap spammy emoji hype โก๐๐
I remember the big debate about whether smileys had a nose or not. Back in my Usenet days, a smiley was :-) - these days noses have fallen out of fashion.
I have no idea how to type emojis on my windows laptop lol. so whenever I use them I gotta copy+paste. On discord they have shortcodes for them :emojiname: and on twitter there's an emoji picker. no idea how to do it elsewhere...
To do it on Windows there's a key combo you need to press to pull up the emoji keyboard. Press the Windows key and the period key at the same time while you're typing in Windows 10 and 11. This will pull up the emoji selection.
oh thank you so much that's actually really helpful. ๐
