🍆 Did you know today is National Eggplant Day? (I couldn't find a source, just many references and celebrations of this delicious veggie.) That got me thinking about emoji, and governance!
🔒 In some cases, the first thing I do when I make or inherit an Atlassian Cloud site is to disable the uploading of custom emoji. My job's busy enough without having to ensure my user population doesn't upload something offensive (usually innocently). 😅
That said, emojis are awesome, and do have a place in communications.
Let's say you're an admin of your own toolset. (Maybe you are.)
Are there emoji that you always add to your emoji repository - whether that's Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, or some other tool! - what are those emoji? And for what specific purpose or purposes do you use them for?
Curious on how users use emoji with intention! Share your examples, I'm all ears. 🌽
😅 is one of my favorite emojis, as it can represent a feeling that I can't describe easily with words. It helps when I want to point out awareness of a mistake, with a little bit of humor and humility, or when I want to point out a challenging situation but that's somehow under control...or getting there... 😅
