I think emoji is wonderful for widespread unicode support. It combats ossification. It is also a nice carrot to incite users to install updates.
However, I don't like the rabbit hole it started to go into with gendered and colored emojis. There's never going to be enough. I wish we had stuck to color-neutral and gender-neutral, like original smileys :)
I find it also conveys too much meaning. I am generally not interested in knowing a person's gender or ethnic group when discussing over text... but I digress.
- samatman 6y agoI've said this before, but not here: Eventually, Unicode will allow you to combine flag modifiers with human emojis. So you can have a black South Korean man facepalming. This will trigger a war which ends industrial civilization, and is the leading candidate for the Great Filter.
