I used to think emojis were odd, but now I really like them. They are so clear. I can't read emotions from faces, except for emotional vs not emotional. But emojis are easier. I wish people looked more like emojis. 😊
It actually depends, on longer posts they somehow disturb the reading flow for me (because they are kind of distracting compared to plain text). For short comments on the other hand I like them and find them rather refreshing.

Thanks for starting a new home for the community ☺️.
Do we like emojis here or rather not? :D

I don't mind emojis if they are used properly. just that replying with a block of 100 emojis is spammy. so is replying with a single emoji.

As long as a strict limit of one emoji per paragraph is kept and we don't make posts look like MLM invites.

Personally, I don't use them. Other than that, I have no opinion. Do you like emojis?

Personally I think that in the modern age they add what is missing from text conversations: intonation.
If you are sarcastic, joking, serious, etc... it can add a lot of social context.
