Why do Lemmy users rarely use emoticons?
Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

I think most oldies are embarrassed by them. I'm not though, but I only surf the world wide web from my phone, so perhaps I'm more hip 😎
I think people 😘 find them more obnoxious 😱 than informative, and rate 💯 opinions higher than 😜 emotional reactions, because emotions are 🤑 cheap and add nothing to a constructive 🏗️ discussion
This sums it up. It's meaningless noise. I wish there were a stable way of removing all emojis from a page via browser extension. Chrome's kinda broke youtube comments, filtering out comments that didn't have emojis, haven't looked for a firefox replacement yet.
Emotional Italians will disagree with you.
I'm dating one, and she disagrees ("Miiiiiii...")
I'll probably respond here instead of under the post: I use emojis to denote sarcasm or strong reactions usually, so I don't feel the need to spray posts with them.
Otoh they do have an ability to make anything seem silly and/or advertising 😅 so for the comical effect, why not 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ
I mean, if the words are still there its literally nothing else left but personal tastes. It adds, not subtracts, even if people dislike it. The disliker certainly isnt realesed from their obligation to answer the question if they so crave being heard
🤟 That's... Metal, man.
Emoji give us an extra avenue of encoding emotion into our text, something that is usually difficult. So I think everyone should be using them 🤓
I thought I understood your comment until I got to the emoji. I'm not sure if they work terribly well
