In need of a better Confused emoji. Several ? above a head, or something along those lines. This guy 🤔 is great for, say, sarcastic thoughtfulness, and the shrug is a great shrug, but neither gives that “utterly baffled and lost here/genuinely no idea what you are getting at” energy I find myself w more often than I should admit.

Spelling it out is actually harder than it sounds because much of the same language is recycled by the mocking and the passive-aggressive. I need Tone.

@AmberWavesofFlame If you can find a nice emoji for us, there's a chance we can add it here. I agree, we need something like that. The only one I can find close to what you describe is :blobfoxconfused: but I guess not everybody would want to use a fox emoji for this.

@trinsec where… oh, Mastodon has its own cute set completely separate from my phone choices, nice. And a lot of them! This has been a long-standing thought of mine and I ironically finally posted it at the one place that has a wide range of potential choices natively and now I feel so dumb. And yeah, there’s :question_slime: :blobwaitwhat: :blobfoxconfused: :blobcatwaitwhat: some potential choices for some situations. Is there a way to search them?

@AmberWavesofFlame Ah, you found some emojis I didn't find, because I searched for 'confused' 'crazy' etc.. but not 'what'. Thanks, now I found some too.. the blob and blobcat ones are pretty decent for me. :)

I don't know about apps (I've heard complaints that the official app is kinda lacking), but the web interface allows you to search for them. Maybe you can try another iOS app? I don't recall which one(s), but any might be better than the official app at this point. Or use the mobile web interface?
