Forgot that I wrote a poem vaguely about this kind of person:

It threatens to loosen
All of your gargoyle dreams
So do as we say
And kick and cry and scream
Nothing ventured, nothing lost
The only shame is in the biggest loss
So if in dreams you turn and toss
Sit and wallow at your costs
Dont ask neighbors what they need
Whisper to them our self same theme
And kick and cry and scream
Sit in sorrow at our cross
If we all pretend it could just be
That all blows over, washes to the sea
So be how the tortoise be
Slow and small and insular
And wait till all time grows older
Come and join our mission
Treat all strangers with suspicion Nothing ventured, nothing seen
Hold on tight to your gargoyle dreams

Did you know,

That in markdown

If you put two trailing spaces

At the end of a line,
You can start a new line
with a single line break?

Quick cheat sheet:

# heading 1
## heading 2
###### heading 6
<!-- comment -->
*italic*
_italic_
**bold**
__bold__
~~strikethrough~~
`monospace`
```
Code block
```
```lang
Code block with language identifier for syntax highlighting
```

Renders as:

heading 1

heading 2

heading 6

italic
italic
bold
bold
~~strikethrough~~
monospace

Code block

Code block with language identifier for syntax highlighting

My client incorrectly renders the comment, so Lemmy may only support an arbitrary subset of markdown. Also special characters can be prefixed with a backslash to write them literally. For *verbs* and #hashtags
