Don’t be salty about emoji. They’re the addendum to the alphabet in our modern computing world.
I see emoji in docs and code and it helps. It can be abused … like any other … literary device.
- lostlogin 4y agoThe outbreak of disturbing Bing AI responses with their heavy sprinkling of emoji definitely gives a negative impression. As you say, it’s emoji abuse.
- kajaktum 4y agoDisagree. The problem with emoji is that it relies on the "font" used too heavily. What's worse is that these "fonts" are controlled by the device that you use. My prime example of this is the skull emoji, imagine sending your mom this: "grandma :skull: sleep during the movie". To a youngster this simply means: grandma "deadass" (i.e. actually) slept through the entire movie. To your parent: grandma died in the cinema. Just look at the different ways a skull can be represented depending on your devices https://emojipedia.org/skull/ https://emojipedia.org/skull/ Notice how different they are. I prefer using kaomoji more because: 1. its way more creative, 2. its consistent across devices (way more, anyways) this sleeping kaomoji like "(_ _ ) . . z Z" will probably be rendered in the same way for 99.99% of the people that see it throughout the text's lifetime.
