About Big Emoji Comments
From the official readme · v1.1.0Description
It’s all the rage. If someone sends a message comprised of just emoji, make it bigger! Eye strain is dangerous!
Shorter emoji messages get bigger than longer emoji messages, and you can include spaces between your emoji and it will still count.
