Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that? ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
minus-square@not_amm@beehaw.orglinkfedilink13•1 year agoI don’t like to have to press a button, then search for an emoji. Emoticons are faster to write, I mostly use the :), :/, etc. I changed that in Mastodon, for example. Someone told me that screen readers have trouble reading emoticons, so I mostly use stickers or emojis there.
