for years I had been bothered by how often @fleerultra.bsky.social responds to texts with the little “haha” reaction. it felt cheap and hollow. but last week we were hanging out and I saw him laughing in real life as he sent the haha reaction. it was real the whole time.

Never once have I actually laughed out loud when typing LOL. Or haha. More accurate would be /eyeroll or /smirk
Some of us are just kinda...I dunno, literal?
Haha/hehe/lol are used on the subdued side
🤣😂 Are authentic to what I'm doing beyond the text
Same with 🤣😭 because I'll be laughing and also sad/frustrated or potentially real tears
Which is why I prefer audio
So much of who I am gets missed in text
Lmao
