We've been using a self-hosted version of Mattermost for several months and the only complaint is that you can't switch off conversion of smileys to emoji. There are few minor nitpicks around email notifications and peers status display, but otherwise it's a solid no-nonsense alternative to Slack. Well done, guys!


Thanks @eps! Glad to hear!

Did you want to turn off smiley-to-emoji conversion for your own view, or on how others view your messages, or as an admin feature for the server?

There's an upvote and discussion thread on this, would welcome your input: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/sugge...


2nd and 3rd, please.

We are 40+ years olds, coming from the text terminals era, so emojis is really just some cutesy-girly thing that teenagers use :)
