Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood less and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄
I think of them like swear words. Not on-the-internet swearing, but public swearing. To use their full power, words like “fuck” need context and - more importantly - discretion and frugal usage.
Overuse of emojis is even easier and harder to look at. But when used right, they serve a purpose. Otherwise it’s “Why the fuck do users fucking dislike the fucking use of emojis on fucking Lemmy?”

My dyslexic brain gets upset with this mid-sentence emoji usage. Takes much more time and effort to read and interpret.

Are you using the opendyslexic font?

This font is awesome, and I cannot fathom why Apple will not let me use it even in the Books app, much less anywhere else.

Comic Sans?

Often yes, though most sans serif fonts work well enough for me.
