We can have light-hearted pieces that are actually relevant to tech or science in an interesting, or meaningful way.
Also, again, my partner and I use emoji all the time, but I absolutely certainly do not when communicating with other developers, clients, or anything with an air of professionality.
Case in point: HN does not support emoji. Or, if it does, certainly nobody uses them. And it is certainly not a feature I’ve seen requested here.

I don't think you understand what "light-hearted" means...
The whole point is that it doesn't have to be relevant to tech or science in a meaningful way.
I also don't use emoji when communicating with clients or in anything that should carry a professional tone. But I'm also a person with a personal life and personal friends and so on.

I wish I could use an eye-roll emoji right now...
> frankly immature way to communicate
And this is vaguely insulting to the vast majority of smartphone and/or internet users.
