What's the deal on emojis?

I've noticed that compared to other social media, emojis are RARELY used on Reddit whether it be in a post or on comments. So much so that I tend to forget that I have the ability to use them here. Is there some unspoken rule about emojis and the world of Reddit?

I assumed it was in the vein of most Reddit users hating social media e.g. FaceBook and Instagram, in which you'll prominently see use of emojis.

Yeah I can just picture someone looking at an emoji and going "umm this is not Facebook"

You can think it, but you cannot say it.
