why do lemmy users hate the use of emojis ?

I'm a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you'll get an idea of the face I'm making, so less chance of misunderstanding

I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes..

On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis

So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? šŸ˜­

If I had a jack off hand motion emoji I would post it but you'll have to settle for me simply saying you sound up your own ass

::: spoiler big emoji If you have the black background for Lemmy on then the left-unity-2 emoji looks like a red hand jerking a phantom dick

See how much more expressive those words were?! Fucking excellent job !

Way to fucking go Bro or Bra !!! Way - to - fucking - go!

Now THAT'S the way to express yourself. It impresses the ladies too.
