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

well I don't have such a menu for those premade faces, so I just use emoji's instead..., those larger ones take up too much space imo.
I'll use :) , :(, :/, :P, :D, :|, ;) :O, XD... they are nice and compact and get the point across.
I'm used to calling those emoticons. Emojis are things like 👶🦈🎶
I think what they're saying is that they don't use the larger emoticons because they don't have a menu of them, so they mostly use emojis instead, but they'll sometimes use the smaller emoticons.
