Never understood why Redditors "hate" emojis. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. So emoji away.

Holdover from the older internet. People used to spam the fuck out of them, and it got real old. Combine that with the hive mind, and you get a rabid hatred of emojis
Makes sense.

This is a pretty bizarre question to me personally.
First of all, we don't have to do anything. If you mean you were wondering if people will lynch you for using emojis, no clue. Try it and find out.
Second of all, the whole "build my personality to fit in" is exactly backwards. The whole point of the fediverse, instances, etc is that you find a community to fit you, not the other way around.
Third of all, this isn't Reddit with tens of thousands of comments making anything more than a "yes" or "no" irrelevant. People actually have the time and space to consider things and answer them more fully here when there's less spam.
Finally, the whole idea of a "mob policy" sounds concerning.
Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works
We're on different instances, fine.
But there's other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.
My guess is they have a display name setup and you don't?

Yup! That's exactly what's happening. I intentionally haven't set one up, because gotta rep my home instance :P
Makes sense.
I even have an account on yours already and is actually the first one I made.
Choosing an instance has been the most awkward part yet. More easily accessible info on instances' admins, hosting situation, funding, etc. might help.
My first visit was very confusing because I tried browsing a community that had just defederated us, which really isn't too obvious as a noob. I registered on lemm.ee to see what beehaw was even about, and I'm going back and forth between the two homes trying to choose.
I very much like the /c/agora idea on sh.itjust.works so I'm definitely sticking around.
I think an important part is getting to know your instance's admin as a person, and I haven't really taken the time to do that.
See ya around
Completely agree. Funding and hosting situation are still very much in flux for most instances, and most instances are so new that admins haven't really had the time to figure out exactly how they want to run and organise things yet. Everything is very much in flux.
These are problems I think will go away naturally as things stabilize and clearer community identities, fundraising methods and organizational norms start forming.
Second of all, the whole โbuild my personality to fit inโ is exactly backwards.
Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away ๐๐
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you're not a serial killer I guess)
Based on how well the post was written contrasted with their claimed lack of thought processes Iโm going to go out on a limb and say it was half tongue in cheek. But also I agree with not answering just yes or no.
Emojis are another means to express human intent. Donโt mold your personality over what other people might like.
I, for one, welcome the ascii overlord. (อก ยฐ อส อก ยฐ)
Lenny on lemmy
Nobody cares about if you use emojis or not here ๐
Please put emojis or pictures in your posts & comments ! (But please also avoid 4k sized pictues, most of lemmy instances have bad CSS (displaying nicely things) for the moment)
Hexbear is currently unfederated, but they will be bringing a ton of custom emojis with them. According to today's post, that feature is now supported in mainline Lemmy as well (needs to be enabled by instance admins).
Good news is that it doesn't seem like the other users here mind all that much (for now).
Everything is fine in moderation!
