Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

    All these people singing the praises of emoticons over emojis, and not a single XD to be seen. I know you’re old enough to remember the XD times! XD you cowards!

      I like to throw it around sometimes, especially when I need to soften a statement or when someone says something so stupid I can’t help but laugh XD
