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
