PSA: consider using a CW for emoji-heavy game posts.

The ones with big strings of emoji like #Wordle, #Quordle, #Worldle, & some #HashtagGames can be tough on screen reader users. Having to hear 40 to 200 emoji read out loud as
"colon yellow underscore large underscore square colon colon black underscore large underscore square colon colon green underscore large underscore square colon"
and on and on unless you skip to the next post isn't a pleasant experience. Even worse with many in the feed.

@Texan_Reverend thanks for letting us know.
I get expressive with smileys ... are a string of those also annoying for screenreader?
Ex:

@deborahh A handful of them like that shouldn't be the end of the world, but everybody's threshold for dealing with them will be different.
Personally, I generally avoid using more than one or two in a row if I care about people seeing the rest of the post after that point.
I have some older posts welcoming new users that opened with three emoji & closed with a long example string of them. However, I now only do that via DM to reduce the clutter for people following me as well as the emoji spam.
