They can but most of the time they aren’t. That’s the key here: most of the time emojis only add noise, to the point that the shreds of legitimate usage (that can be conveyed through other means) don’t really justify keeping the cons of the noise.
It isn’t like anyone would implement my idea though. I’m mostly doing like that old man screaming at the sky, or something like this.
What is the point that you’re trying to convey by relexing “old man screaming at the sky” to use emojis?
If the point is that “they could be used to convey meaning”: I’ve already addressed it. Usually, they aren’t. (If the point is something else, please clarify.)
Wouldn’t you agree the perfect reply to:
Emoji are pretty dumb, but I guess I’m just an old fart about it.
…is a string of emoji? :)
