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.

Because you don't have no script to easily add emoticons, like for /kbin? ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

They have better taste.

Yes that's right it has perspective

(≧ω≦)

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

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

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

Good question 🤔

And Merry Christmas to all.

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

🤷

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.

Maybe because this is (still) the more adult place?
