If you are trying to read into it
Still the most used emoji on earth, and its meaning has drifted. Older users mean it straightforwardly: this is funny. To younger users it can read as slightly out of touch, with 💀 taking over the "actually laughing" job. Nobody is using it wrong. It is simply the clearest generational marker in the set, more so than any emoji people ask about by sender.
