- hnbad 2y agoThere's a certain type of people that considers emoji unserious and distracting and thinks they are detrimental to nuanced and intelligent conversation. Of course it doesn't follow that a lack of emojis is sufficient to create nuanced and intelligent conversation but said type of people also believes HN is tangibly different from Reddit.

- koolala 2y agoToday was June 2, 2024. Unicode watch still works.
- bobsmooth 2y ago>Watch was approved as part of Unicode 1.1 in 1993 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015. https://emojipedia.org/watch#technical https://emojipedia.org/watch#technical
