Is there a way to go back to the old emojis
or is that not under y’all’s control?
because these are all horrendous

I am pretty sure that is out of our control. I will have Cali verify but as far as I know that is out of our control.

Then by the looks of this, it’s just a verification link, which is how many logins work these days. For user protection, you know, the reason for 2-factor authentication, it looks similar to that.

Yes, Kate is correct. Sadly, this is a discourse update and change, and we didn’t plan for this. It was just given to all the discourse forums in the latest update. Here’s what they changed in terms of the emojis; see below:

Unless this thread is outdated you should be able to select the emoji set to be used as an administrator, they probably just changed the default one from apple to twitter or whatever that one is?

Oh, thank you for this, duckling. Usually, in the updates, they explain that they can be changed in settings if it is the case, so I foolishly assumed it couldn’t. But yes, it appears we can. Thank you.
It is, although, before anything is changed, we’ll make it a forum decision, yeah. Let’s make it a poll for this weekend and everyone can decide what we change it to in a couple of days.

Redesigned Emojis
You may have noticed over the last week or so that the emojis have changed after the last update. Thanks to @/Duckling, we now know that we can choose which ones we’d prefer to use, and that’s up to you guys this weekend (or the next couple of days).
Look at each one below and choose which one(s) you’d prefer to use on the forum. And hopefully the majority agree. 
Here are the options:
Yes, many of these are the same, but we wanted to give you all the options in case certain ones switch the version they’re using down the line. 
Which emoji set would you prefer we use?
- Apple/International
- Facebook Messenger
- Fluent Emoji
- Google Classic
- Noto Emoji
- OpenMoji
- Twemoji
- Standard
- Win 10

It’s very close in votes, but currently we’re keeping them as they are. I’ll leave the poll open until later today (closing it around 2025-03-21T04:00:00Z) for anyone else who wants to vote.
