Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

I actually prefer emoji-lite conversation, meaning emoji is there to enhance the comment/text, and not mere spamming of one. Like for example

"i don't think i can do that 😅" kinda feels lighthearted with the emoji than without it. But "i don't think i can do that 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣" is just pure obnoxious, to me at least. I'm not gonna chastise anyone for doing that of course.

Also i do prefer kaomoji more ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

    No specific site, i just search kaomoji and then copy those i like, then on swiftkey i pin those copied kaomoji on the clipboard so it's saved. Sometime i create one that i can't find on those site, like this one
