      We definitely have way too many, but I like the freedom it gives me to combine ones that have the hyper-specific emotion I want. Five years on here has only taught me that there is a profound difference between kitty-cri , kitty-cri-screm , kitty-cri-texas , and kitty-birthday-sad despite all of them being the same fundamental image.

        i have been advocating that someone with access just does scan by emoji name and drop low uses ones.

          You’ve also reached the point of fluency where you understand the music behind the words. We’re building a brave new language out of nonsense, where I can make Elmo burning alive in his cybertruck out of simple shapes:

          triangle-bottom-right elmofire border-middle-horizontal-square filled-square triangle-bottom-left

          filled-circle filled-square filled-square filled-square filled-circle

              rebus+dada+okbuddy. Hexbear’s emojipasta is core to its identity. Otherwise the only dada comes from remixing posts from other websites and public statements.

          Na, I want even more emojis but we should each have an emoji favorites list so it’s easy to get the ones we each like most

A workshop for the memes of production.

Submit new emoji here.

A good submission is:

  1. Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
  2. Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
  3. Display a clear emotion or purpose
  4. If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
  5. “Evergreen” and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
  6. Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
  7. Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
  8. Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
  9. Max height of 3 times the width.

Rules:

  1. No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
    • Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
    • Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
    • If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
  2. Nothing Vaush-related is allowed
    • To be honest, I broke this rule, so it’s pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they’re still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution -- @WhyEssEff
  3. No desecration of religious imagery.
    • This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
  4. Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
    • :hentai-free:
  5. No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
  6. No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
  7. If you think you’re touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
    • DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I’ll add it, just that it’s alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition -- @WhyEssEff
  8. No content that breaks the Hexbear Code Of Conduct.

Emoji are added to the codebase periodically. Emoji may or may not be accepted and the dev team has final decision.

All images submitted must be ones you have the right to share with the project. By posting images in this comm, you are agreeing that you have permission to share this image with the project.

Hexbear Code Of Conduct, ToS, Privacy Policy, etc all still apply.

Emote repository, periodically updated on the Hexbear Code-Op.
