i prefer to use them in microblogging platforms like mastodon :3

People use words to express their feelings rather than emojis.

Emojis are less serious and a comment that uses them extensively is taken much less seriously than a comment without emojis.

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

Yes that's right it has perspective

They have better taste.

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

Good question 🤔

And Merry Christmas to all.

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

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