Seemed like emojis in posts / comments would get downvoted to oblivion on Reddit. I don’t see the same thing on Kbin (or other instances / services).

    I actually think they’re a lot less annoying than some of the other attempted expressive shortcuts common to Reddit.

    🙄 > /s
    😝 > jk
    🤣 > lol
    🤦‍♂️ > *facepalm*

    And so on. They’re obnoxious if they’re used like punctuation or in place of entire words and sentences, but to indicate tone I think they’re great! 👍

    Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren’t the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it’s really a breath of fresh air

      Same! I lurked a lot on Reddit because even trivial comments felt like they’d get picked at (or more often just not result in additional conversation). Here I feel much more comfortable typing and not second guessing. Feels good.
