    The possibly optimistic way of looking at this is that certified morons will let you know they are such, so, writing something of moderate length effectively serves as a kind of shit-test.

    Also, people seem to be mostly unaware that different formatting standards exist and make more sense for different viewing contexts.

    I write the vast majority of my lemmy posts on mobile, because I engage with lemmy via mobile.

    Every once in a while I get someone screeching at me about horrible formatting… it looks fine on mobile.

    Sometimes I get much more polite critiques or suggestions, and then I just usually explain ‘oh I use lemmy on mobile’ and that is generally an amicable conversation…

    But a good chunk of people are seemingly baffled and offended by the idea that anyone could be doing anything in a manner different from how they, personally, do it.
