Tone is an absolute bitch to convey properly over text, if you don’t add indicators it’s up to the reader to determine the tone you’re using. Miscommunication causes larger problems. Using lol helps indicate a lighter tone so people don’t think I’m pissed off or grumpy when I’m not

Good ol’ smileys! :D
And somewhere inbetween, or perhaps alongside the smileys, we had the wonders of kaomoji

Millennials didn’t have emojis at first. You realize that, right!

Regular text emojis have been around forever. I was talking about those.

But consider:
Emojis have no soul, and will never see the light of Heaven
Text based emoticons, meanwhile :) :( :3 :o Are God’s chosen tone indicator, animated with the breath of life
