To Emoji or not to Emoji

I think emojis are fine, in moderation. I like to use them.

But when there are whole sequences of them in a post or a post title they're just annoying. I'm perfectly able to read, thank you. I don't need messages given to me in pictures 👿

Don’t ever use this though 🍆 !

Why, Cossy? is it rude?

I didn’t know and haven’t used it, but apparently it refers to a penis!

I use them when messaging friends, my sign off is 🩷🌷🩷 which simply means love from me and the tulip which was my late husbands favourite flower that’s all.
I use 🤬😡 when I’m cross 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ when I’ve got no idea what’s going on 😱 when I’m shocked and 🤭 when I should have kept my big mouth shut and that’s about it.

Ohh I love the little darlings as anyone who reads my posts on non political threads 🙂 will know!

A picture paints a thousand words IMO and saves a lot of tapping on titchy keyboards 😉

💯 % ✔️👍

In the title always reminds me of Fanny, and I wish she was still here 🫶🏼

Sometimes they can help to make sure the reader(s) of your message realise its a joke, for example, it prevents misunderstandings.

Yes, that's the reason I sometimes use them.

Mmm 🙊 for last question.
Cossy!

I agree, only one in the thread title, nit the wehole lot.

I do but I use a laptop and there is a very limited selection of emojis on here!

Happy to see a few emojis. Like others here, I prefer them not to be "over-used", but I don't worry about it. (A lonely and rather isolated person I know, over-reacted negatively when a friend included one emoji in an email. IMO it's no wonder that this person is feeling isolated....life's too short!)

Oh and 😡 about an event thats happened you are fuming about.

Used sparingly, yes I like them.
👏👏

I have reservations when used as strong put down instead of a poster explaining disagreement.

Both Ds and DiL rarely use them, DiL hates them.

Oh and not forgetting 🙏🤞🤷🏻‍♀️

I like them if used sparingly. Over-use is similar to using too many exclamation marks in my opinion!!!
🤣

😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏

According to my emojis meaning gallery the heart colours are just that. Purple heart is a purple heart, green is a green heart etc.

I like them but I don’t always know what they mean.

One of my family who lives abroad uses a purple heart to end a message quite often. I asked Dd and DiL what that means and neither knew. DiL said she uses it herself because she likes purple.

They do cheer up a text. 🎉

I use them all the time 🕰️ 🤗

Yes I like them to express how I feel

👏 👍

I quite like them in a title too because you can spot the thread quickly if you want to add to it later. I mean like 👗 👞 👟 👜 🎂 🎄

I definitely like them.

It’s a 👍🏻from me 😃
