It's not about posting, it's about the standard of posting, lots of it isn't engaging with conversation, but just posting silly emoticons.
some people express themselves with emotes. others express themselves with paragraphs of texts. a picture is worth a thousand words.
but yeah, no, none of us can control how people choose to express themselves.
Well, yeah, we can, that's why these sites have mods and rules about submissions and comments and why people are asking for something to be done about your users.
mods aren't going to remove things that don't break the rules. if you want to add a rule to your instance banning picture embeds, go for it.

Oh yeah you kind of need to spend some time on hexbear to understand our emoji culture. It must be completely incomprehensible to outsiders, but for us it might as well be hieroglyphics.
