:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart

It just does not convey the same feeling.

Especially that one with the teeth.

You should at least use the normal smile emoji πŸ™‚

[-] Sternout@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but in some chats that one has weird rosy cheeks

[-] Rootiest@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's this one 😊 (or this one ☺️)

There are a lot of smiley faces now

:P is appropriate a lot of times when πŸ˜› is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. πŸ˜‹ Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.

:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

Yeah :P growing up for me was always either "yeah that's silly" in a more nondescript way, or it was something akin to "yeah XYZ isn't great but it is what it is" β€” almost like a diet version of :/

Yeah, there's a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I've seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like "this is amusing but also horrible" or "putting on a smile despite everything being awful". Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.
