I seriously doubt serial posters like Ladybutterfly would post as much as they do if they had to filter through posts for something as trivial as a single word having squiggles on it.

The people who feel strongly about this should post their own stuff. Complaining about it on Lemmy is just lazy. Do you really think annoying people on here will change anything?

Edit: zero replies, just downvotes. Y'all are mad at me for being correct, and it's adorable.
