I’m starting to think that Hacker News is on the wrong side of history on this one. Without the emotional channel, we make more misunderstandings, which leads to more hostile posts. Emoji are becoming a permanent part of written language.
I don’t want to see a post full of emoji either, but perhaps a filter that allows one emoji per 20 words would work. Perhaps using a font with black line or grayscale emoji?

- tgv 3y agoIt's not an emotional channel, at least not purely. And you can express that very well in text, too. You just need to cut the irony and sarcasm. For the (rather dumb and contrived) examples from the article * Unfortunately, her cake she was terrible. * Her cake was such a failure, I had to laugh. * She made a nice cake.
