I have all these odd pauses in my speech and just realized they're em dashes.

    I'm one of those deranged few who actually used em dashes in my normal typing habits. Not super often the way LLMs are prone to, maybe once a month tops. Alt+0151 or Compose, dash, dash, dash.

    Now a find myself reluctant to use what I felt was a useful bit of punctuation out of concern people might think what I'm typing was LLM generated. It sucks.

    I always just used -- instead, because I'm too lazy to remember weird codes and I don't know what a compose key is, but the intent is the same.

    Edit: oh and I forgot lemmy does weird stuff with em-dash too, what I originally wrote there was hyphen-hyphen
