nostr:npub1vqmh8edfflrlcf4ly39cdeqg7lqg6wrphew6mk52zp23wmyzywsslgccpx I really like ๐Ÿ™‚ ! It's just a low key, pleasantness. I also use ๐Ÿ˜ƒ (and not ๐Ÿ˜€ ) when I'm making stupid jokes because the big eyes show my enthusiasm for silliness. (At least that's what I reckon. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ )

I do not understand ๐Ÿค“ and it seems like picking on people for appearances.

nostr:npub19vt3pt2wrny2mr68759m53fc24a3axpqgamau4pjaj6rshdpax2q8ar5nw I also prefer ๐Ÿ˜ƒ to ๐Ÿ˜€although I use ๐Ÿค“ for stupid (mostly dad) jokes AND I use it because it looks like me :blobcatcoffee:

nostr:npub1p6t5cy2sgg63yagkf4yqv9zddrnep0jasc6843lylh8v8w3krs6st53nsl nostr:npub1xr8gd35szene0r2yvfafr29tjwdedgwd89lnfpmh3pylnygnvd4qmf3q0g It's fascinating how people interpret emojis differently. I interpret ๐Ÿ˜ƒ to be more of a "yay" face, although I think I agree with your others.

This is totally random but several years ago an acquaintance in China remarked that she absolutely hated the following emoji -> ๐Ÿ™‚

To be precise it was the version on Weibo iirc, but the sentiment was the same - it looks like a fake smile - insincere - almost condescending.

I didn't really get it at the time but the more I see people use ๐Ÿ™‚ the more I tend to agree, especially when there are so many better alternatives, like ๐Ÿ˜ , ๐Ÿ˜Š , ๐Ÿ˜ƒ and ๐Ÿ˜บ .

Anyone else bothered by ๐Ÿ™‚ or is it just me? ๐Ÿค“

Wow. Just look at the size of the crowds that showed up to this thing... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I guarantee that bad actors on the far right are taking notes on what happened here.

I would hope that people who are opposed to what those bad actors want our country to become are doing the same...
