Textfaces? (͡•_ ͡• ) Regular emoji? 🤔 Old school smileys? :-)
I do not use emojis.
ಠ︵ಠ
Especially the “regular” emoji that are used everywhere else really feel out of place here
Why would anyone need to express emotions in a universal language?
🙄
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Didn’t know that, thanks :)
A few of those actually use emojis in the kaomoji
I use text emoticons like I always have :D
Timeless.

Your parenthesis don’t match .
I’m sorry.
OwO
For some emotions there isn’t even an emoji yet.
UwU
And let’s hope there never is.
this one. only this one:
We do a little
posting
Personally, I’m OK with emoji as long as you don’t spam them (3+ times the same emoji is spamming imo)
1 emoji for a normal expression
2 emoji for a heavy expression
3 emoji is still acceptable but my personal limit of tolerance
I’ve always read 3+ back to back as a form of satire or sarcasm
Instance admins can add images to be used as emojis via the emoji picker.
big fan of the old school blob emoji with cat ears
I really like
and 
Also all of the agony ones

Do you copy and paste every time you use text emojis with specail characters? Do you have them saved on your phone/computer for easy access?
I use Gboard which has them in the emoji menu: ʘ‿ʘ ᕙ(＠°▽°＠)ᕗ (゜o゜; (＾3＾♪ ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ ಠ︵ಠ ╏ ” ⊚ ͟ʖ ⊚ ” ╏ →(° °)┗
(Just a few examples)
Thanks for the tip! ♪ \(ω\ )
Voyager has some of these built in now
Oh shit I learned something new today. Thanks OP!
Sync has a ton built in, so just a button click.

Gboard also has them. ლ(・﹏・ლ)
I have them pinned in my phone clipboard xDˣᴰ
My usage is fairly restricted:
- old school :^) for non-sarcastic irony
- (¬¬) for eye rolling
- shorthand emojis (e.g. if talking about Stardew Valley, instead of “the four hearts event” I might type “the 4♥ event”)
- as a way to avoid a specific word for metalinguistic reasons (e.g. “⟨dog⟩ is the signifier, 🐶 is the signified”)
Finally, an emoji that’s worth being that big
I’m a fan of emojis that I can hear.
Whatever suits the point. Emojis are a tool for communication, and should not be shunned just because some butterflies just them as personal flair. Emoticons are classic and hearken back to an earlier time, when things were bespoke and not run through committees for approval before we’re allowed to use them. ᕦ⊙෴⊙ᕤ
I use what best conveys the emotion behind the text. 🤷🏻♂️
All of them
