It is the year 2118. ASI is taking over the light cone. The economy grows 100% each solar year. Still no emoji support on Hacker News.

- weinzierl 1y agoHacker News supports emojis just fine, as you can see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23659248 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23659248 It's just that most people can't deal with them responsibly, so it has not been made easy.

- bombcar 1y agoFor a glorious few hours after one of the last emoji updates hacker news did support it because they didn’t filter those ones out yet. They do not filter out some of the quasi emojis like the hieroglyphs. 𓂸 Out for harambe.
- arp242 1y agoIt's not a matter of not supporting it; if you can store UTF-8 (as HN does) then you can store emojis. It's that HN actively strips emojis. One of the more childish and petty aspects of the site IMO.
- cubefox 1y agoYeah. If you look at somewhat similar forums like Less Wrong, people don't even use emojis that often. So not a big loss on HN anyway. Markdown and LaTeX support however...
- kingstnap 1y agoEmoji filtration != lack of support.
