They’re called Kaomoji btw.

Didn’t know that, thanks :)
A few of those actually use emojis in the kaomoji
I use emoticons like I always have :D
Timeless.

Your parenthesis don’t match .
I’m sorry.
OwO
For some emotions there isn’t even an emoji yet.
UwU
And let’s hope there never is.
I miss my forum emoticons.
Me whenever people used to complain there was no hugging emoji:
(> _ )> <( _ <)
I do not use emojis.
ಠ︵ಠ
I think the “regular” emoji feel somewhat out of place here
Why would anyone need to express emotions in a universal language?

Do you copy and paste every time you use text emojis with specail characters? Do you have them saved on your phone/computer for easy access?
Sync has a ton built in, so just a button click.

Gboard also has them. ლ(・﹏・ლ)
Voyager has some of these built in now
Oh shit I learned something new today. Thanks OP!
If you are on Android…

I use Gboard which has them in the emoji menu: ʘ‿ʘ ᕙ(＠°▽°＠)ᕗ (゜o゜; (＾3＾♪ ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ ಠ︵ಠ ╏ ” ⊚ ͟ʖ ⊚ ” ╏ →(° °)┗

Thanks for the tip! ♪ \(ω\ )
If you’re on Windows, press the Windows key and the period key to get the emoji keyboard.
Windows also lets you right click for emojis
Is that a Windows 11 thing? I don’t have that on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.
I only have Windows 10
Hmm, curious! Does it work everywhere? Like, in Word or Excel or whatnot? I have never seen that feature!
oh I don’t know, I don’t really use word or excel anymore. I’ve only seen it work in Chrome cause I’m a filthy Chrome user.
Aha! I reckon it’s a Chrome feature, then—I haven’t used that!
I have them pinned in my phone clipboard xDˣᴰ
this one. only this one:
We do a little

big fan of the old school blob emoji with cat ears
Emojis like these are built in… 😺 🙀 😻 🐈
Not quite the same, but you can just type :cat and it pops up a quick list.
I gratuitously use cat emoji don’t worry. It’s not the same without blobby though.
Haha fair enough!
Personally, I’m OK with emoji as long as you don’t spam them (3+ times the same emoji is spamming imo)
1 emoji for a normal expression
2 emoji for a heavy expression
3 emoji is still acceptable but my personal limit of tolerance
I’ve always read 3+ back to back as a form of satire or sarcasm
I mainly encountered boomers when reading more than 3 emoji
You can’t go wrong with a table flips (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
they just make me (ノ｀´)ノ ~┻━┻

Instance admins can add images to be used as emojis via the emoji picker.
Finally, an emoji that’s worth being that big
I really like
and 
Also all of the agony ones
I like the cowboy one.
It’s like I’m suffering but in a lil hat.
All of the above.
I resisted using emojis for a long time, but I changed jobs during Covid and was working from home permanently. I suddenly worked with a bunch of people I had never met before, and I realized that these people don’t know my demeanor, so they don’t know how to read my tone. I found emojis are almost necessary to convey tone in this situation. And after that, it kinda stuck.
I’m a fan of emojis that I can hear.
Old school smileys :-) because My Keyboard app doesn’t have a emoji board.
3 emojis that complete a thought like:

General Pringles?
SHOIGU!!!
