@matigo I’m not keen on emoji; they’re a bit childish…but it seems to be a bandwagon. So much so that I feel sheepish typing an old-school smiley; like I must be weird to do what no one else is doing. Also, I quite like the challenge of A)crafting text with sufficient skill that neither emoji nor smiley is needed, and sometimes of B)creating a bit of intentional ambiguity by only using text.
Sometimes subtlety is nice.
