This is so silly. Just because radical change is alienating doesn’t mean that smaller improvements wouldn't be positively received. For example, an end to silently swallowing emoji would be an improvement, not a regression. Poor design that actually excludes people is not a treasured feature.


I'll bite: How does swallowing emoji exclude people?


It excludes annoying people who use emojis. I just wish it was updated to include removing the ascii emojis they unnecessarily add, often at the end of posts :)


I treasure not having to look at emojis on HN. Not sure who this "excludes" but I'm fine that that


Excluding people that want to shove emoji in is morally good thing.


If a feature excludes a certain kind of people, it might very well be an improvement.
