that's what you get for handing me gimp and too much time.
@bonifartius just a friendly reminder to use #AltText in the #Fediverse π
@apinae
hell, i don't even know what to write there in this case. it started as an idea for
> why can't i hold all these free speeches
but it turned out as random memery. so you could title it
> why can't i hold all these creepy emoji concoctions
aswell.
also please don't π clap when asking people a favor.
@bonifartius yeah the emoji isnβt the best. But there is none for #thanks. So I went with the hands
@apinae from my experience it's much more easy to get things wrong with emoji vs. the classical emoticons. a :) goes a long way, selecting the right one from the emojis is almost impossible π¬
wait @apinae and @bonifartius, isnβt ππΌ for high five?
@cnx @bonifartius when I use the emoji it says prayer (which is not what I wanted to express though). Who thought emojis would make communication easier π
@apinae, I looked it up and it seems youβve been using it correctly: its official name is person with folded hand.
BTW I donβt think emoji are accessible in normal UIs due to there usual tiny display size, unless one is using a screen reader. For many smileys and especially full-body emoji itβs faster to look up than to squint and guess. Cc: @bonifartius
@cnx @bonifartius I think another big part is cultural bias, as well as age of the parties and peer group's influence. It could be considered a language of its own, with a lot of room for interpretation.
@bonifartius gotcha. Yeah this one ππΌ or no emoji is probably the best route. Just didnβt want it to βsoundβ too harsh.
