Is there a way to set a default emoji skin tone across all Apple devices?

Is there a way to set the skin tone globally!! I want the same tone every time on my MacOS (Macbook & Mini) & iOS & IpadOS... Since I use all these devices, it gets old and very annoying to constantly be forced to choose the same skin tone over and over! You would think it would learn!

There should be one setting for all devices to use only the one skin tone selected!!! (or hold down the emoji to select if you want to change it for some reason).

This has gotten to the point where I'm going to stop using emoji as there (limited) possitive usefulness has become a negative usefulness.

TIA.

Yes, they are in the recently used section. The first one listed is the thumbs up emoji which I use to acknowledge people because it is simple and (was) quick. Now, every time it prompts for a tone :( . Might have to go back to emoticons!
