Help SAVE Discord Emoijis/Twemoji!
I have been eagerly anticipating Unicode 15 emojis being added to Discord - and I know Discord uses Twemoji's and personally love the look. While researching to try and see when they may be added, I found this thread from around November explaining many members who worked on Twemoji were laid off/quit, though the pack was ready to go live (I'd highly recommend reading this whole thread for context):
https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/issues/570
Due to this and multiple factors at Twitter, it very much seems as though Twemoji (even if we get Unicode 15) will likely be discontinued completely. The ex-Twitter employee made a note saying "Also, if Discord would like to hire either of us to work on (Tw)emoji, I don't think we'd decline." I have been using Discord for many years now and can't imagine it having a different emoji pack - is there any potential of Discord being able to work with Twitter to help revive Twemoji - or potentially buy it off of them, see if they're able to rehire some of the team, and keep it going?

If they don't do this, we riot. Or something like rioting, but politer and more constructive.
