    I have heard from a source on the inside that the cool dog is actually also the woke dog (complimentary, as on negationderogatory) as well wowee

        :(

        Idk what tone you meant for that exactly but, asking genuinely, why do you dislike them? I just use cuz they’re fun imo and sometimes help clarify meaning of sentences. I do try to be cognizant of where I am on our federated network and avoid using the ones that represent some kind of Hexbear inside joke lol, like those ones don’t. I know I’m not alone in using them for those reasons cuz even Reddit supports inline reaction images these days lol. Besides all the social platforms supporting them (mainly cuz people like to use them imo), even Unicode’s emoji partly consist of a bunch of assignments for common reaction images lol (although, 🤓, cuz they do have to work in a global context they are usually much more strictly semantically defined and unspecific)

          I don’t like them because they’re often ambiguous or even obfuscation.

          I also don’t like them because emoticons are the superior format.
