I use Emojis for my gardening site as icons for taxonomical families. So I would welcome some berries and maybe more vegetables.

Really hard to do by this time. Since they allowed so many it's harder to say no. They have a burrito, but why no kebap, yet?

But of course, the more they add the harder it is to use. These new directional ones can be hidden as variants similar to skin color etc is currently handled in UIs, but individual ones ...
Deprecating also isn't an option. Text using those exists. They can't really break it.

#34I'd be delighted if the deep fried version of "crying laughing emoji" were to become a thing: "open eye crying laughing emoji" To me it signifies something that holds the middle between glee, hysterical laughter and psychotic rage. Unicode really misses a codepoint with this specific energy, in my opinion. [1] https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/open-eye-crying-laughing-emoj...

Have you heard of this thing called an image?
Absolutely nothing wrong with that, especially since people on hn love to complain about inclusion of unnecessary assets in websites that could be more lightweight.

#40But why exactly do we need a different color of mushroom? Isn't that just threading too lightly?
