Like a lot of people here, I’m coming from the rexodus and I was just wondering if we still have to lynch people using emojis in their comments?

Just trying to build my personality to fit this new community! Don’t mind explaining why, a yes or no will be enough, I’m not capable of any thoughts process anyway

thanks in advance for the answer.

    Emojis are another means to express human intent. Don’t mold your personality over what other people might like.

    This is a pretty bizarre question to me personally.

    First of all, we don’t have to do anything. If you mean you were wondering if people will lynch you for using emojis, no clue. Try it and find out.

    Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards. The whole point of the fediverse, instances, etc is that you find a community to fit you, not the other way around.

    Third of all, this isn’t Reddit with tens of thousands of comments making anything more than a “yes” or “no” irrelevant. People actually have the time and space to consider things and answer them more fully here when there’s less spam.

    Finally, the whole idea of a “mob policy” sounds concerning.

      Based on how well the post was written contrasted with their claimed lack of thought processes I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was half tongue in cheek. But also I agree with not answering just yes or no.

    Hexbear is currently unfederated, but they will be bringing a ton of custom emojis with them. According to today’s post, that feature is now supported in mainline Lemmy as well (needs to be enabled by instance admins).

    Good news is that it doesn’t seem like the other users here mind all that much (for now).
