Because emoji are tacky. You want to use them in your commit message? Fine. But if I were ever contribute to a project that enforces such a rule I would start every commit with the middle finger emoji.
- reaperducer 5y agoIt's his project. He can be tacky, if he wants to. If you don't like it, fork it. I don't like emojis, but I have even less regard for how boring the internet has become.

- selfhoster11 5y agoIsn't tackiness heavily context, culture, and timeframe dependent? Besides, computing is far too serious these days . I see no reason for my computing to be a little bit whimsical (especially if it's a hobby project), provided it's also self-consistent.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> Isn't tackiness heavily context, culture, and timeframe dependent? All the more reason to not require them?
- selfhoster11 5y agoI believe the opposite: that there is sometimes the right place, the right project/people, and the right time to be whimsical. So not always, but also not never (as an abolitionist stance would see it).
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoWell I do have to admit that in this particular instance it is just as silly as the project itself, so it does fit.
- udbhavs 5y agoI don't think it's out of place on a project about cool window effects which many would also consider tacky.
