remember the days when "youtuber" meant accusing someone of being a potato?

Using crap like a11y, i18n l10n, whatever instead of writing the whole word is lazy and terrible for readability

Don't do it

For some reason, some Markdown implementations on the fediverse right now are either doubling \n or sending \r\n, which gets read as a double newline in many clients. This makes toots with newlines look twice as long as they're supposed to on the FTL, which really screws up the intended effect.

Please be careful with your Markdown implementations so that you're not making your users' posts look bad when they federate!
