An object lesson in the problems of using emoji to actually convey meaning :)

  It's a problem insofar as HN is, on purpose, stripping emoji. Which is a questionable choice...

    Hacker News does strip all emoji, FWIW.

    It saves people from having to guess which subculture you come from, just so they can understand what a certain picture means for you. Emoji are very irritating for this reason: They are focused on the writer, and not the audience.
