Great to see this change. The decision to get rid of the gun emoji was itself an act of political activism, highlighting the left leaning bias in many of these organizations - or at least the power given to the voices that pushed for those changes. It was a naked way to influence the culture around guns, and make them less visible. But it also killed funny uses of the actual pistol emoji. For the record, the underlyi…

My thoughts exactly. For all the hand wringing they did about cutting costs, their focus is on redesigning emojis? It's obvious to me that Elon doesn't actually care about making the service better and solving real problems (like boosting revenue or fixing problems that impact users).
lmao you really think this took me more than 15 minutes to do?

Fun fact – Apple will reject your app for using emojis in an unapproved way, for example as a UI element, button or reaction. Default system emojis can only be used within regular text. For any other use you have to import your own versions and can't use Apple's.
You can use SF Symbols (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...: “You can use a symbol to convey an object or concept wherever interface icons can appear, such as in navigation bars, toolbars, tab bars, context menus, and within text”). That would not use Apple’s emojis, but wouldn’t require you to create your own versions.

What makes you think their “focus” is on emojis? This is probably just one among many things they’re doing. And it’s the right thing to do, because the political censorship of the pistol emoji is yet another example of how deeply biased tech companies have been in pushing their politics onto customers.

Is this part of new twitter management to "destroy the woke mind virus"? Yikes. Buddy's mind has wondered off to the hadal zone. Well beyond the point of "no return".
It's interesting that Microsoft started with a toy gun, then someone around 2015-2016 made the decision to turn it into a real gun.
