No, the point was that we were literal when choosing which emoji to use.

That's not what the article is saying from my reading of it. It thinks "rolling on the floor laughing" is a new exaggerated phenomenon despite ROFL being used the same way for decades.

IMHO it’s still just that: early emoji use was literal and later use got more [nail polish emoji].
Not sure why ROFL is relevant, a typical emoji user is likely unfamiliar with internet slang.
