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.

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

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

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.
