I don't care either way, but I always thought it was funny how reddit was so vehemently anti-emoji

I'm not really interested in preserving the more pedantic and pointless norms from Reddit. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what culture emerges here. I don't tend to use Emoji much because they don't occur to me. The text messaging services I grew up with didn't support them for the longest time, so we had emoticons, or would just use role play tags like * shrugs*. The only real trend that actually bothers me with Emoji is when people type out words, then use the corresponding emoji after it. "Hey guys ๐Ÿ‘ฌ I just got back from the store ๐Ÿช and took a picture ๐Ÿ“ท of my cat ๐Ÿˆ." Thanks Tiffany, but I knew what most of those words meant.
