Hashtags & Emojis Are My Right—Even If Lemmy Hates It 😄👍☀️

People in Lemmy 😠 prevented me from using hashtags #️⃣ in my Lemmy posts, as well as emojis 😂. This is not fair 😡 because this is social media 🎉, not Rt 🤮. Rt is capitalist 💰. Lemmy is interconnected 🔗 with multiple servers. I am stressed 😩 being on Lemmy because the diversity and variety of each Lemmy user's traits and preferences are not respected 🤔. Although no one on Lemmy likes me for who I am 💔, I will continue to use hashtags #️⃣ and emojis 😂 in my Lemmy posts 💪. I am not the product 🏭 of the Lemmy community. I am a separate human being 🧍‍♀️, and my handle is @kaerypheur on lemmy.world 🌐. #Lemmy #Fediverse #HashtagBan #EmojiRights #FreeExpression #NotYourProduct #kaerypheur #LemmyWorld #FediverseFreedom #NoCensorship #SocialMediaMyWay #DecentralizedButDivided #YouDontOwnMe #PlatformProblems #RespectMyStyle #HumanNotAlgorithm #FediBlock #FediverseStress #RebelPosting #StayWeird

🤟I like you for who you are.
I rarely use them myself, but I find emojis linguistically fascinating. There's a lot of subtleties with sarcastic, ironic, or symbolic emojis, as well as different subcultures that use them differently.
You might want to check out mbin or piefed. They both handle hashtags better than lemmy, which mostly just ignores hashtags other than the community name.
- Mbin only handles hashtags on the Microblogging side, while PieFed applies them to the Threadiverse side.
  Example post using hashtags properly on PieFed, vs. the same post on fedia.io, an Mbin instance
  Example Mbin thingie, whatever the equivalent of tweet is there, federating with Mastodon
