      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.
        Tried another Browser Falkon which uses QtWebEngine, and there are no doublespaces there either.
        So apparently some browsers render Lemmy posts differently.

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

            Plus, Markdown is more like guidelines than a standard.

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