so? if we're not allowed to post here, the mods can ban us.
some people express themselves with emotes. others express themselves with paragraphs of texts. a picture is worth a thousand words.
but yeah, no, none of us can control how people choose to express themselves.
mods aren't going to remove things that don't break the rules. if you want to add a rule to your instance banning picture embeds, go for it.

Oh yeah you kind of need to spend some time on hexbear to understand our emoji culture. It must be completely incomprehensible to outsiders, but for us it might as well be hieroglyphics.
If you don't want to federate with Hexbear go make an account on an instance that isn't federated with Hexbear. You have the tools to solve this yourself and you aren't using them
