Comment on This was Alex Jones once
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 11 hours agoI’m not the person you replied to, but I was taught to write very formally in school and while writing legal position papers at work and llms mimic a style that was drilled into me. It’s really frustrating, but other than swearing or making a dumb joke, I don’t know how to make it clear that I’m a person (and tbh, the former won’t work for long and the latter is already outdated).

i’ve done the same, and old markup formatting makes shit look stupid unless you take time to comb over it in preview. it’s kinda part of the reason i don’t like it that lemmy won’t let you do ninja edits.

I don’t know if I just blocked the troublemakers early, but I haven’t seen any of the sniping over edits that was occasionally there on Reddit, at least. But yeah, I get annoyed when I have to edit a whole comment just because of formatting or a typo.

i don’t think i ever saw one of those edits go unnoticed, though, and they were usually pretty funny whether intentional or not. i just want 30 seconds or so to go ‘oh fuck’ and add a hyphen sometimes.
