Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

In chats I use emojis very often, but I here I feel like some emojis may not show properly, so I avoid them. Though here I tend to use smiles and such :)

I just find the generic yellow emojis used on most platforms annoying. Forums, Discord servers, or other sites that have custom emojis or older-looking "smilies" are more appealing to me.

No idea, but if you list social media platforms by use of smilies it would be Instagram > Facebook > YouTube > reddit > Lemmy

There seems to be potential for a correlation with intelligence.

Because it offends gen z. They get it from millennial parents and associate it with them.
