Does AM need more emojis?

We have 16 of them.  I could probably be a lot more expressive with more emojis!

    That's funny. Someone filed a "feedback" requesting more emojis maybe a week ago. I said we needed to focus on some of the other core fixes of the site first, but that I'd add this to the list of potential changes when we fix the other stuff. Truth be told, I didn't even realize that was a thing- that people even noticed them or cared. I'm interested to see the responses to this question now that it's out there.

    People are big on emojis on other sites.  They use them all the time in their responses.

    That's what the other person said as well. We may have to come up with a list of ones to add.

    I wasn't thinking about them either until I was trying really hard to come up with a fifth question about symbols.

    Nope. A few emois are fine and can express more than can be said. A hundred emois is too much, there is no way to choose the 'better' one, because they all look mostly the same ;-)) Ever our current 16 are twice as many as we need.

    Hi Livvie.  I agree.  I think it would be a good idea.  I like the ability to be able to use emojis to express certain feelings over and above the basic.

  • Computers have made handwriting obsolete. With enough emojis, we could make typing obsolete,
    but the real goal, I think, should be voice-actuated emojis so that we could eliminate the keyboard.
    (Don't mind me ... just brain-storming.)

    "Whatever the consensus ... I'm with you fellas!"

    Exactly. No written communication whatsoever. The goal is to arrive at a point where we know just what to eat so we can fart out our precise thoughts.

    I only need one more...a banging my head on the keyboard in frustration emoji.
