For those who don’t know: Twemoji is the emoji font created by Twitter and subsequently adopted by literally every other project out there (Discord perhaps being the most infamous) because of it’s permissive licensing (and the fact that it had the budget to keep up with Unicode updates).

It’s also the most boring, soulless, corporate emoji font to ever exist right after Apple’s emoji and post-blob Google emoji.

Google’s emoji also has a similar permissive license which is how projects like https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji can exist, yet everyone’s going for the crap one.

Now that Musk has Musked all over Twitter, I geniunely hope people will look into funding alternative emoji fonts with actual personality in them, but I know full well that isn’t going to happen.
