*shrug* I disagree. I'm on quite a few discord servers and I enjoy it.
Reactions, in particular, are super useful because they let people do
simple stuff like registering amusement or agreement with something
without having to actually send a message themselves.

It is also useful for keeping up with the zoomers. We're all going to
be yelling at clouds some day, but I like to try and delay it as much
as possible. :P

(also note there's nothing stopping people sending emoticons over IRC,
at least if the server and client both support UTF-8...)
