I think someone discovered you can easily build a 1x1 image to run code acting as a tracker using those emojis, it can log ip adresses and stuff. Are we sure we want that? Sorry I can't find the post again rn.
Sorry, do you have a link yo that? Because I don't see how that's possible
Yes found it, with bonus hostile guy calling devs tankies

Ah that's not an exploit really,nor something that removing custom emojis would stop. It's not a massive issue anyway and I'm sure these kind of stuff will be sorted out soon as development has accelerated a lot lately
I assume custom emojis are only available on desktop?
I see them fine on Jerboa.
Yes, but how can I use them?
