        Woah now hold on there just a second buddy ol’ pal, we millennials are all about emojis! We called them smileys and emoticons sure, for forums and MSN Messenger etc, but we were all over 'em!

        Then text messaging and Facebook came along and didn’t support that stuff and we were sad, but now they’re back!

        Except standard emojis suck, they’re better on stuff like Discord now where you can just upload whatever emotes you want and use them wherever, and they can animate too! Really feels like being back in the forum/MSN Messenger Plus! days 😁

          The odd emoji at the end of a message is fine. It’s embedding them throughout the text that makes it borderline unreadable.

        Can confirm. Am millennial and I only use emojis ironically. And to acknowledge messages I don’t want to actually respond to on Teams.
