Here goes... these are my most used emojis for Slack:

A screenshot of the emojis I use the most in Slack. It includes classics like 🙌, 👍,💡, as well as custom emojis like Mario high-fiving Luigi, a cat dancing around, etc.

I have the typical ones for confirmation (👍,✔️), those that are for celebration (🙌), and some that are meant for good idea or 2nd that (💡,☝️).

No so sure what all this says about me personally, but I think it means that I'm generally positive and encouraging.

Emojis never lie.
They absolutely tells that you are generally positive, encouraging and validating people.

What they tell about me

✍🏻 That's because I write a lot.

🐶👰 are for my dog and my wife, who would have guessed?

ε ⍺ The greek letters I use to say "Mes amiεs" instead of "Mes amis et mes amies"

🎸🎙️🎹💃 That's because I play music and dance

☕️💰📞📆 That's because I start my company and meet lot of people

🇫🇷🇪🇺🇮🇹🇩🇪🇬🇧🇨🇴🇯🇵 That's because I'm a polyglot and need to say which language I'm currently using. First world problem.

👏🏻🔝🤦🏻‍♂️🤔😱😊😎💯👻🚀 because emojis make my articles more fun. Thanks Japan for the emojis.

Maybe you don't want to be the CEO that always give the orders?

😁 is my most used one - probably because I want to let people know when I'm joking, as written text lacks intonation.

😁 or because your jokes are bad

Could well be that too.

Oh - here's one: what's the difference between a bad joke and a room where everyone's walking out? None - both are silent after they're done.

...

ok - you might have point there 😁

Removing hello and goodbye emoji, that are circumstantial, mine are:

  • 🤔
  • ☝️🧐
  • 😱 👀
  • ⚔️🔥

These ordered by usage frequency... I admit they represent a little recurring narrative.
