Because it relies on a lot of cultural background. Which in the world of emoji changes fast. This won't be welcoming of new users when they have to learn 10 or more symbols for whatever you're doing.
:lipstick: for UI changes? Why? :computer: or :smartphone: as those are the usual interface used or ️:wheelchair: because you care about something accessible would feel better.
- etiam 7y agoIf we could have :pig: as well, we could at least do :lipstick::pig: for kludges on bad code... I think you're right on the mark about the strong cultural context and arbitrariness of the symbols. The value I see in emoji for this sort of application (as others have also pointed out here) is for jokes and maybe (rarely) highlighting lines visually. Obviously the joke dies if the use gets standardized, and the practical disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
