In the language of flowers, which was made up to sell flowers by Victorian florists, yellow roses were friendship, as opposed to the love expressed by a red rose. A floral friend zone. I quite like using a 💛 for a more friendly, no romantic intentions or expectations, kind of expression. I really hope that's how it comes across.
@alice I don't know if emoji-blindness is really a thing (nearsighted ness combined with colourblindness?) - but I struggle to identify tiny graphics beyond just a normal smiling face.
Because I never use emojis, I don't know what each of them mean, culturally.
I have used the smiling face with heart eyes because it looks cute to me and I can easily decode the shapes / colours.
The red heart is easy to read, but the orange and green ones are low contrast / appear blurry.
@alice (I'm about to say something positive about web browsers:)
At least in web browsers I can easily zoom in and out -- I vary between 175% and 250% depending on how long posts I am reading and how many tiny details I have to work out.
So I hope, because we're mutuals, that you'll know it's not malicious if I ever use an emoji wrong.
I always paint then black with one that has colour. My wife does funky things like alternating colour. We don't wear our rings either. Poly thing as well.
