What does 👶 mean from a guy you don't know?
From a stranger, especially unprompted, this is sketch. It's either someone trying to be overly familiar and creepy, or in a gaming context, it means you're a 'noob' or bad at the game. If it's a random DM, it's likely trying to infantilize you. Hard pass.
