I don't care either way, but I always thought it was funny how reddit was so vehemently anti-emoji

I haven't used any thus far on Kbin, and don't really intend to as it feels weird to me, but we're not in Reddit anymore so go for it!

I use smileys (and I used them back on reddit too). But i wish the webapp had emoji aliasing built in! :smile:

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 youre typing in Windows 10 and 11. This will pull up the emoji keyboard.

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.
