    Huh, that’s an interesting point that I never thought of before.

    Yeah, I have found that accessibility issues are mostly treated like a joke in the tech industry. I would raise it as a QA issue and nothing would be done.

    The text would certainly be helpful for the vision impaired, but if text would do it, why use emojis in the first place? Same issue with vague icons, you need a text alternative for usability.

    Emojis are a waste to me, my eyesight is not good enough to differentiate whatever the fuck they are supposed to be saying. I don’t like to throw around “ists” and “isms” but some people really do have accessibility issues, and emojis are not helpful at all. Too many of them are only reflecting inside jokes and elitism.

    Use language, that is what it is there for.
