@bonifartius just a friendly reminder to use #AltText in the #Fediverse 👏
@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 👏 clap when asking people a favor.
@bonifartius yeah the emoji isn’t the best. But there is none for #thanks. So I went with the hands
@apinae i guess i'm just too accustomed to PEOPLE 👏 DOING 👏 THIS 👏 with extremely stupid takes.
maybe 🙌 ? or 🙏 ? i know it's called "pray" but i have more often seen it in the "thank you" context.
or just no emoji ;)
@bonifartius gotcha. Yeah this one 🙏🏼 or no emoji is probably the best route. Just didn’t want it to ‘sound’ too harsh.
wait @apinae and @bonifartius, isn’t 🙏🏼 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 😅
@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.
@apinae, I looked it up and it seems you’ve been using it correctly: its official name is person with folded hand.
BTW I don’t 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 it’s faster to look up than to squint and guess. Cc: @bonifartius
