  The double spaces between sentences. Tbh, it is kinda nice for readability.

    If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.

      I was taught by people who were taught on typewriters, and it’s still ingrained.

    OK that doesn’t show here (Firefox on Linux), I actually copied the text into an editor, and searched for double spaces, and none were found.

      Browsers collapse whitespace unless told not to by the webpage CSS. I’m not using a browser though, I’m using Boost for Lemmy.

        “Boost for Lemmy” I learned a thing existed today, that I was unaware of yesterday. Thank you for that!

    I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.

    Huh, I thought Markdown basically just ignored all extra whitespace

      HTML in browsers ignores the whitespace, I think, not markdown specifically.

        Plus, Markdown is more like guidelines than a standard.

        This is the thing, yes. I’m using an app to browse Lemmy.
