Only after living here in Lemmyville where people still practice this civility did I realize that I've gotten in the bad habit of not capitalizing my sentences properly and now feel like the child raised by wolves now having tea with ye townsfolk.

I believe Reddit is to blame... because everything bad comes from them right?

Full transparency I was mostly in lurk/comment mode vs post and never cared about karma. No kids to have trained me this way. I swipe my keyboard which doesn't do capitalization.

My working hypothesis is that with reportedly 400m users, quantity and speed to grab karma is more important than taking time to thoughtfully compose something. Its like 24/7 monkey with a gun redditing.

And like me, even if you're not "playing" the culture still rubs off on you.

So now i'm wondering does this even matter or am I just over thinking this (wouldn't be the first time).

Is formatting more important than the contribution? Because it just took me 5 mins to type this all out nicely and think i'll going to be limited in what I can contribute if every post takes this long 🤣
