Last year, Mastodon 2.0 was released which added custom emojos. People immediately started to add them. SoonerLater, there is a huge overload of emojos.

One or two persons’ request is quite enough to pass addition of an emojo to an instance.

A competition started of ‘as much emojos as possible’, and who won, you’d guess? Of course it’s the Japanese instances.

Also, it’s 2018, fam.*]

It’s not meant to be this way

Today, the only emojos I should live with are, to be crystal clear, the Mastodon logo and the Thaenkin Standard. And even then I often get away without these.

Popular demand is not one or two persons’ demand.

**All social networks should be frugal and simple, that's it**. And even Facebook and Twitter are not an exception.

I come to Facebook to share some things in a long form with my friends, so be it. I want to not play social games which require Flash.

I come to Twitter to share some things in a short form with my followers, so be it. I want to not write long names, 280 character tweets, or fend out nazis.

[I actually can’t come to either, but still.]
