Emojis absolutely have their place here. They can add tone, nuance, and a bit of humanity where plain text can feel flat.

  I feel like emojis is the lazy persons way of adding tone, nuance and humanity, when you don't know how to do so by only writing. Don't want to imply it's wrong, it's valid to be lazy, especially when it comes to improving communication, but I find myself thinking "How can I make sure this comes across as the joke it is?" and after one or two minute I just end up slapping a wink emoji at the end and don't rewrite the text at all, as the lazy person I am.

    When you only want to write w a single word back though + and emoji, there’s not a lot of space to add tone!

    An idea compressed down into a single character is elegant and efficient.
