I disagree. Using this thing for an hour, users with emojis are more distinguishable at a glance. I often face this issue with HN where I have to read the user's username to know if they're OP. Twitter usernames with emojis, however, is really obnoxious.

it sounds like you are implying every user should have a distinct emoji at the start of their name .. i.e. an avatar image
