Four years ago, I made this subreddit in response to the influx of "normies" joining r/memes. At first, it was serious but later became a joke. But for a long time, I have questioned whether or not I should keep this subreddit open. I rarely visit this place and IDK if the mods are willing to keep on maintaining this subreddit. This place isn't active and I would argue its purpose is unless. I will probably close this subreddit next year or give it to a new owner. Either way, this is probably going to be my second to last post here.

Emojis are common place on Reddit now, this sub was relevant when created but those days are long gone

It’s too late now. The emoji wars are over. The normies have won.

We have lost a unique culture here on Reddit. While 4 years ago we all thought being a redditor is super edgy and all the normies are cringe and we are something better for using Reddit and abstaining from using emojis, the times have changed. Now we look back and see that we were the cringe ones. But we had a unique culture here. And it’s a bit sad how it all turned out.

When I take a look at meme subreddits, I see less posts than ever and so many bots. People don’t really care about reposts anymore and we get more and more TikTok content here.

And I really don’t like that development. I miss the times when we identified with being a redditor and happily memed everything.

Now I feel like Reddit is just dying.

So long as r/LoveForRedditors and every other subreddit that has you (and the sub) posted in their automod is active you won't be forgotten. Nor the subreddit.

The joke about zero emojis might be dead, but people against emoji spam are still active here.

It's definitely over, most of the posts are incorrect arrests and the subreddit is extremely low in activity. I'm up for closing.
