#Manjaro #Linux (slow rolling) and #Mastodon v4.5.9, won't let me express myself with a #NATO / #OTAN #EMOJI!

Is this a #UTF8 #UniCode issue?

LOTS of people are talking about NATO/OTAN!

If the #Soviets*cough*Russians*cough* object, well, then, make a friggen red star emoji! Despite their internal doctrine, their people might want to express themselves, as well.

We're talking about #freeSpeech, here!

WE NEED MORE EMOJI!
...how am i supposed to #millennial, without a complete set of moji?! 🤬

🧵 2/n NO, SERIOUSLY!

WHY EXACTLY, is there no #NATO (or #Soviet, #Chinese, #BRICS, or whatever) #EMOJI?!

WHO's in charge of those pictograms?

How do i petition "them" to complete the set?

If it's under #western control, I DEMAND, that WE WESTERNERS apply #DEMOCRATIC #FREEDOM of #expression!

EVERYONE, regardless of their creed/indoctrination, MUST HAVE equal means of expression!

This includes #UniCode #EMOJI!

MAKE IT SO!
(also, tell me whom to petition!)
