This is such an old fud thing to say. As if using an emoji wasn't a mainstream thing for the vast majority of people to do.

Personally I like the inflections and emoji brings, plus it makes statements that might otherwise be taken as hostile either as well intentioned or just good old fashioned ribbing.

Plus, these reactions allow folks to add their sentiment/support to comment without adding an extra 'I agree' to the comment chain, it actually helps maintain a bit of focus.

In the semi-professional context of a PR discussion, all these big emoticons are a bit out of place.

You're trying to hold back the tide. If anything PR seems to be driving this sort of thing now.
