Pleeeease:
Don't use an emoji after every single word.

To a blind user, your toot is getting read something like this:
"Discord waving hand is waving hand not waving hand a waving hand suitable waving hand replacement waving hand for waving hand forums waving hand"

Asb yourself:
Would I like to hear a toot that contains eight times the same emoji, just because the author thought it was totally fine to put an emoji after every single word?

Spoiler:
No, you wouldn't!

Yes, for non-blind users as well, you're absolutely right.

Depending on the cultural context, this emoji can express "Bye, we had a nice friendship".

Look, I'm all in favor of accessibility and I do take care with alt text and all as much as I can. But
1. This is the hand clapping emoji.
2. I hate reading posts like this as well even though I'm not blind, but I simply needed to vent my frustration. I never asked for it to gain as much traction as it has. One of the many frustrating aspects of microblogging.

@volpeon
"I simply needed to vent my frustration."

That's totally fine and I really do understand you, as I can't stand Discord myself (it doesn't even allow me to create an account), as I really would love to talk to some people (who create constructed languages and are only available on Discord).
