Web [Suggestion] Change emoji shortcuts

[Sophie]

Currently, whenever you try to type a a smiley face, the website substitutes it for an emoji by default.

For example, if I try to use the cute :) smiley, this shows up instead: :)

This would be fine if the emoji shortcuts were more appropriate, but they're outdated and hardly resemble the emotion you're trying to convey.

For an also example, if I try to use the sad :( smiley, this shows up instead: :(

Hence, I suggest changing the emojis defaulted to when smileys are used:

Smiley	Old	New
:)	:)
:(	:(	☹
;)	;)
:D	:D
>:(	:mad:
;(	Null
<3	Null	❤

Idk, I feel this is kinda a dumb suggestion, but I think it would be better to use more modern emojis. The old ones don't really convey anything very well. Thoughts?

Even tho this is a really small suggestion, it is a really good one. The emojis are indeed outdated and i would like if they updated them. :)

Hey, would you make a poll for this, so we could see what people thought?

I like your ideaBut I'm actually doing pretty well with how it is now.

I didn't precisely get the suggestion, but I think you're right. Some don't fit situationally. But these Emojis are funny and imperfect. I don't think there should be a reason to be removed. Oppositely, I think there should be more optional settings for which Emojis you would want to default, instead of placing people on deficient choices. I loved the suggestion - I just wanted to revamp it!
