Emoji Suggestions

Okay, whoever/whatever messed with the emoji suggestions on signal-desktop between 8.9 and 8.10 really screwed up what was once working. I don't know what vibe coding suggested this, but it needs revert... I used to type :party and would get the party hat. Now, I get suggestions for anything BUT party hat emoji face.

Seriously ... :tada: even at the END of the suggestion list... "stuck_out_tongue" ... how does that relate to :partying_face: ?? Literally, ANYTHING except something related to partying or celebration is suggested in the list here... WTF!?!?

:smiling used to bring up "smiling_imp" first, but even EXACT MATCH doesn't bring up the target emoji!!! WTF!?!?!?

Whatever used to be the emoji suggestion based on what was typed -- it wasn't perfect by any means, but at least, it was predictable AND mostly close to what you were targeting. This current version of semantic nonsense is just not acceptable in my eyes and needs to go!!!

I know this thread isn't official signal support, but man, this really hurt my support for Signal... I'll file a formal ticket about this in hopes it'll turn around.

Anyone else noticing changes in how emoji is suggested on Desktop version of Signal?
