i considered it a means to easily tag posts by the community without the need to implement any additional programming for it.

and it shows on the main page, you don’t even have to waste a click on the post.

also i thought reaction emojis were unique to piefed, but i dont know how they present on your lemmy instance

they don't, which is another reason why they are pointless

Lemmy doesn't have a feature, so it is pointless for other things to have that feature?

Yeah, OK

I'm going to assume you're 20-30 and lack local reasoning skills. emojis are pointless.. now you need to define wtf that stupid picture means somewhere so people know, otherwise 'durr what's the little emoji mean?'

instead, forcing words like (AI SLOP) will be more universal to anyone since ya know .. it says exactly what it's trying to portray and not some hieroglyphic

emojis have no clear universal set definitio. it's assumptions on what they mean which makes it useless to use to identify something.

it's sad that I need to actually explain this.

We are aware of the limitations of emoji, thanks. We too have functional minds with thoughts.

You are welcome to continue using Lemmy which doesn't have emoji, no one is imposing emoji on you.

Also I've just added a way for PieFed users to report AI content without relying on emoji.

I'm going to assume that you're 50+ or are severely lacking in social skills. Probably both.

Text only communication is severely lacking in it's ability to convey certain things that verbal or in person communication does. Things like tone. This means that conveying that something is said as a joke, or that it's meant to be sarcastic is not possible in Text form. There have been many kludges to solve this (like /s for example) but by far the most effective has been the addition of emoji.

Emoji definitions come from a shared understanding of their meanings. Just like, y'know, words. (What makes you think people will intuitively know what "ai slop" means? Even if they've come across "bad or overused generative ai content"?)

If you pulled your head out of your ass you would see that there are already emoji associated with ai. Companies that use it signal it with ✨️ and users will often signal it with 🤖

Language evolves, and gatekeeping it is futile.

It's sad that I need to actually explain this.

You know that this post talks about Piefed-exclusive feature that adds small emojis above "reply" button, right? It looks like this:

This is why this was posted in this particular community although I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even check it before replying...
