I'll give you that, emojis are good at quickly communicating intent in situations where time is short. But this is a message board, where's the hurry buddy
The average lifespan of a thread on Reddit/Lemmy style discussion boards is about 18-24 hours. If factored in a lot of international participants across polar timezones, it can go upto 30-36 hours atmost. That is a very fast exchange of messages when the comments start piling up.
Slow exchange of messages is not what you are having here. A slow digital exchange would be something like email.
