    Damn how old is the average Lemmy user? The amount of people (allegedly) using and expecting perfect punctuation when texting scares me. I never put periods after one-liners except for nuance and if someone else does it looks weird. Depends on the person obviously, for example when my mom texts me I know I shouldnt put much thought into such details.

        My parents or rarely messaged folks precede a message by “Hey [my name], <br> (Actual message content)”.

        It kinda tilts me as it’s a chat and not an email and I dislike the mixing of those two medium

      I assume we’re all over 40.

      Seems weird to me too, I first started texting around 2005 when I finally got a cell phone. When I saw full punctuation I felt like I was getting scolded.
