I use a phone and the more complicated emojis are harder to use 🤷

Its just the group we have. I use basic ones sometimes. But I also come from a time before emoji existed.

use your words!

[–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 6 points 11 months ago (6 children)

I feel like emoticons are in some ways cheating at using words and thus it shows a lack of effort put into your communication. I use them mostly in quicker format messaging like Discord. I don't blame anyone for using a 🤷 or such but I'd like to try to be more eloquent.

I don't really feel the need to use them to express myself. I try to use words instead :-)

Lemmy is a discussion based social media. Smiley are cool for social medias like facebook

Good question 🤔

And Merry Christmas to all.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

We could invert the question: why do people wherever you're contrasting use them more?

People keep asking this....

[–] shani66@lemmy.comfysnug.space 3 points 11 months ago

God damn the kids really don't know the difference. Anyways i use it less probably because I'm browsing Lemmy on my phone in-between other tasks, but maybe I'll start spicing things up.
