Honestly, I prefer either retro :D :/ T_T, modern-ish 💀🫀🥀, or none at all. The 😅🤣🥰 have always seemed ingenuine and too explanatory to me. I feel like the lack of emoji nowadays is caused by a mix of growing online literacy (aka read the context), exhaustion (bots that usually use a lot of emotions) and aversion to genx/millenial humour (which is often self deprecating and filled with internalised shame, say, this emoji: 😅).

And what is an emoji if not additional explanation that nobody asked for. But that's just a suggestion. Also, pardon my English - not a native
