I'm in a couple of tiny communities on IRC. There seems to be no growth potential, and when I've suggested switching to IRC in a work setting people look at me as if I'm mad, and starts hugging their webbased monstrocities filled with emojis and memory leaks, but I think I will always prefer IRC.

Even terminal based weechat is perfectly capable of rendering emojis.

  For some reason, maybe cultural, maybe because many clients don't have a nice emoji picker, they seem to be used less though in my experience (which is fine by me).

  emojis are old school, i don't use anything unless it has full gif support now. Gotta have a way of putting up baby yoda sipping gifs when people ask how i'm doing

    And posting gifs for some reaction is more rage inducing on my end. 99.999% of the time, a gif is absolutely unneeded and unwanted.

      Does rage not seem like a bit of an overreaction to things like gifs and emoji?
