What do they use instead?
- ch4s3 4y agoFrom what I've seen, text. I've heard a lot of younger folks call gifs "cringe". It seems like a dead trend, even millennials I know have mostly stopped using them.
- duckmysick 4y agoIt seems like we've come full circle then. Maybe we can expect text emoticons (the ones with a hyphen for a nose) making a comeback soon.
- viridian 4y agoThey never went away, they just started being used ironically, but yeah, I do think we've already entered a post-ironic phase of text emotes :-)
