Textfaces? (͡•_ ͡• ) Regular emoji? 🤔 Old school smileys? :-)

I generally don't use emojis because I don't think I understand the nuances of emoji well enough to throw them out there for strangers on the internet to interpret.

Whatever suits the point. Emojis are a tool for communication, and should not be shunned just because some butterflies just them as personal flair. Emoticons are classic and hearken back to an earlier time, when things were bespoke and not run through committees for approval before we're allowed to use them. ᕦ⁠⊙⁠෴⁠⊙⁠ᕤ

I use what best conveys the emotion behind the text. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So far I have used exactly one emoji here, and only once so far.

😉

I'm not a big emoji guy overall, but there are certain jokes and such that require inflection in your voice or certain body language to land properly. Obviously that's not an option in a text basud conversation so emoji fills in that gap for me.

I don't particularly mind people using emojis in other ways, though I do think using a lot of them gives off a weird vibe, but for me personally I mostly prefer to use my words, and using emojis only sparingly makes them feel like they have more impact to me when I do use them.
