I don't mind emojis if they are used properly. just that replying with a block of 100 emojis is spammy. so is replying with a single emoji.
I used to think emojis were odd, but now I really like them. They are so clear. I can't read emotions from faces, except for emotional vs not emotional. But emojis are easier. I wish people looked more like emojis. 😊
As long as a strict limit of one emoji per paragraph is kept and we don't make posts look like MLM invites.
Do we like emojis
Personally, I don't use them. Other than that, I have no opinion. Do you like emojis?
It actually depends, on longer posts they somehow disturb the reading flow for me (because they are kind of distracting compared to plain text). For short comments on the other hand I like them and find them rather refreshing.
Personally I think that in the modern age they add what is missing from text conversations: intonation.
If you are sarcastic, joking, serious, etc... it can add a lot of social context.
