Discord is the best example on how to not have an age old history. If
you have joined only one of those, you get blinded by blinking
emotiocons, animgifs etc.
That is the opposite of helpful while discussing important things. In a
Hello Kitty context, as entertainment, it may have it's usecase for
those impacted.
*shrug* I disagree. I'm on quite a few discord servers and I enjoy it.
Reactions, in particular, are super useful because they let people do
simple stuff like registering amusement or agreement with something
without having to actually send a message themselves.
It is also useful for keeping up with the zoomers. We're all going to
be yelling at clouds some day, but I like to try and delay it as much
as possible. :P
(also note there's nothing stopping people sending emoticons over IRC,
at least if the server and client both support UTF-8...)
