Side note, one of the best things I ever did (as a YouTube creator) was add most emojis to my YouTube Studio block list.
On YouTube, the block list prevents comments from showing for other users, and puts comments in a holding area where I never have to engage with them.
Putting most emoji in that block list has caught spam, impersonation, catfishing, crypto scams, and a lot of lewd behavior. I can allow the average everyday emoji through, while filtering the crud.

Note that this doesn't block me from seeing the garbage, it's not like filters here on Mastodon.
YouTube lets you block *other people* from seeing stuff in the block list.
That's really powerful when you're trying to foster a good community, and something Mastodon lacks completely.
