@liaizon I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I personally don't have much motivation to standardize custom emoji. While I understand many people enjoy this feature, I'm not particularly fond of custom emoji functionality in general. My limited interest in the feature itself, combined with the significant accessibility issues it creates, makes it difficult for me to get excited about investing time in standardization efforts. Though I respect that others might feel differently!

@hongminhee @liaizon I've never really got to the point to add custom emojis for my projects, but I think they as a concept work really well on top of ActivityPub in the form of "Like" activities which have a URL (or even maybe a binary Content directly) to the actual emoji image, but also support alternate text as I described in my sibling message.
