I choose to use emojis because Lemmy is like the old internet, and in the old internet you couldn't make it through a simple MSN Messenger convo without at least one use of :P or >.< or whatever, so it fits imo.
"old internet" "MSN Messenger"
Feeling positively prehistoric in comparison ๐ฆ
Wouldn't that make then emotes?
Those are emoticons yes, but they were just saying that emoticons were endemic to old internet, so now that we have something better we may as well use it ๐
Indeed.
