There is nothing stopping you from uploading a picture of a gun and putting it in your post. Why is an emoji any different or more dangerous than letting people

There is nothing stopping you from uploading a picture of a gun and putting it in your post. Why is an emoji any different or more dangerous than letting people upload pictures?
- kortilla 2y agoThat’s like saying you can put pictures of the letters you need in a post to form words. It’s completely impractical in systems that even allow you to upload pictures and impossible for anything based on Unicode only input
- Dig1t 2y agoYes but pretty much every single medium where you can use an emoji you can upload a picture. Signal, iMessage, X, FaceBook, etc. This thread is specifically about X so that’s what I mostly am talking about here. But pretty much every communication medium being used allows you to upload pictures. It doesn’t make any sense to me why you’d remove the emoji and not also try to censor all pictures of guns.
- kortilla 2y agoUploading pictures isn’t enough. Placing emojis in sentences in order is required for anything more than a reaction emoji to the whole thing. You cannot do that on signal, X, Facebook, etc.
