    I’ll probably respond here instead of under the post: I use emojis to denote sarcasm or strong reactions usually, so I don’t feel the need to spray posts with them.

    Otoh they do have an ability to make anything seem silly and/or advertising 😅 so for the comical effect, why not 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠⁰͡⁠ ⁠Ĺ̯⁠ ⁠⁰͡⁠ ⁠)⁠ ⁠ㄏ
