So it seems Meta/Threads are forcibly altering output of the Trans Flag emoji , to only show the two combining elements instead of the actual emoji.
This is appearing correct on the Fediverse, however on Meta, it seems they are removing an aspect of the emoji to make it combined... absolute shite.
@jessienab I mean... did it ever work on threads? If not, I could chalk this up to them just using an outdated version of twemoji (or whatever they use)
@ohanamatsumae I would assume it was working before, surely someone would've raised it as an issue if not. First I've seen or heard about this tbh.
@jessienab If it didn't work before, people probably didn't raise an issue because... they assumed it was just an outdated emoji spec, I imagine. Threads isn't exactly a good place for non-transphobic people to be, anyway.
