So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades? (lemmy.world)

If poetry text
Is how you commune with friends
Passive aggressive.

edit: fixed the formatting, and my keyboard unironically took my double-tap on space to add periods for me! 😅

    Markdown also permits a trailing backslash to be a linebreak, as an alternative to the two trailing spaces.

    foo\
bar

    yields

    foo
    bar

    No, baron, I was just pointing out that there are lots of different rules depending on the medium and genre and participants. le sigh

    Does Lemmy need the double space? This isn't Reddit after all, and it's the only Markdown implementation I've seen with that requirement for line breaks.
