@ChanceyFleet As an old-fart sighted autistic, I love this, too. I see various emoji and have no idea what emotion they are intended to convey, mostly because they are so small I can't quite pick out how this one is different from that one.

@ChanceyFleet I like this. Teach us? What framing should we use? Asterisks around it? Square brackets? If we use colons here on Mastodon, some words will get turned into emojis anyway.

@ChanceyFleet In love this! And I don't have to be blind to do it! Finally, I can have all the emojis I need! :hand on chest thank you:
Thank you so much. It's embarrassing that it took so long, but I feel liberated!
For personal messages I just take a picture of my facial expression and send it now.
But ayyy it's mastodon so you just gotta imagine how I look.
: whaddya want me to do about it face with my arms held slightly up from my sides, elbows bent, palms up and fingers extended outward :

@ChanceyFleet I'm sighted, but I still read the emoji. Which means I really don't like the every other clap thing. :shotgun umbrella:

@ChanceyFleet Not sure if they still do that, but for a while in german irc chat cycles it was fasionable to just type these kind of things between asterisk. For example *shivers* or *looking at the sky* or even *wild pony sounds*. So *broken umbrella* would go well in that.
Always seemed cute and nice to me.
