Blocking people who use emojis seems extreme. In fact, an emoji-based rating system could improve conversation by replacing the urge to comment lightly with a "thoughtful" or "informative" label. They needn't have any weight other than their visibility.
Some old-style forums implemented this to cut down on noisy "I agree" posts, and it worked. Maybe reducing conversation surface area reduces chances for conflict.
> We found that people like some features that are already present in social media, like the ability to delete inflammatory content, block users who derail conversations and use emoji to convey emotions in text.
I mentally inserted an Oxford comma before the last "and." Thus:
People like some features that are already present in social media, like the ability to:
* delete inflammatory content
* block users who derail conversations
* use emoji to convey emotions in text"We found that people like some features that are already present in social media, like the ability to delete inflammatory content, block users who do X."
Does that sound like a grammatically correct complete sentence?
