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

I was going to say, I think it's carry-over from Reddit, which is vehemently anti-emoji.

I think they are fine, even helpful, punctuating a larger comment, but I think the fear is tolerance leads to posts that just consist of 👍 or 🤣🤣🤣 which are ambiguous (is that agreement or mockery?) and just trash quality content that contributes nothing to the discourse.
