 Apparently after Elon's X takeover, they abandoned Twemoji. We're using Twemoji in Soapbox, but truthfully I hate how it looks and have been thinking about switching to Google emoji for a while. So, the Great Emojining maybe be inevitable.

 You had me at Great Emojining 
 In my intimacy I prefer Apple's design, but they're copyrighted.  
The two roads are "let's do our own twemoji" but no one of us is graphic designer.  
The other is let's lazy load Google's who are licensed in a compatible manner. 
 Would the option to use Twemoji still be available to admins? 
 What's the difference? 
 @Alex Gleason @Tassoman I have always hated twemoji, it looks so dull and soulless. Total twemoji death.
