What Hacker News says

2 sources
One person's "emoji vomit" classification is another person's "this looks good to me". PRs for improvements are welcome, but: - emojis are there intentionally. I asked for them and I personally think it's not too much. It's not something to clean up. - I think the current AI-generated logo has character and is better than a stock SVG one can find online. The logo aims to represent a creature which is a mix between cat (nheko), lion & dog. See https://github.com/etkecc/komai/blob/main/docs/user-guide/id... ------ If you're choosing your software based on "has emojis in the README or not", then you'd be happy with many of the other Matrix clients. Most don't use emojis in their documentation (if they have much documentation at all).
