Donβt limit yourself like that. I use hearts, peace signs, horns, spock hands, thumbs up, whatever I feel like. Thereβs no need to add gender to this stuff.

Thats great! I feel comfortable using the heart emoji with my wife and kids, but for co-workers it can be a little creepy depending in the circumstance. I started using the blue heart, but that just caused confusion. I found the horns conveyed the thought better without being creepy.
Yeah, I totally understand the potential creepiness factor with coworkers, but I just try to read the room, and as far as I know, I havenβt creeped anyone out. I find the heart emoji should be used sparingly regardless of gender. My (female) manager recently wished me well while I was sick, and a heart emoji was the perfect response.
As a guy I've come to use hearts emojis more and more given it's ok in the context...
Sorry to be a boomer, but in the context does horns emoji mean purple devil, brass instrument, or rock horns hand-gesture?
Rock horns. Shorthand for βthat rocksβ a more manly way to say I love that.

Do you mean because boys love ska and jazz?

Decipher this...
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
