    I still feel a strong pull towards r/worldnews.
    c/world@lemmy.world is juuuust not quite as good,
        content-wise.
    edit:
        !world@lemmy.world
        Still new to lemmy, lol...

                It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
                I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
                I put one sentence per line.
                Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
                    according to natural breaks in the sentences.
                (I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
                Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
                Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
                As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
                    the English is much easier to edit, and
                    diffs are way cleaner.
                (I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)

                  Yes, but reading this on moblie is complete and utter ass. Rule 1 of formatting, don’t force others to adhere to your formatting style.

                    What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
                    But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
                        what am I supposed to do about that?
                    My phone can do that easily.

                  In what way do you consider it easier to read raw HTML than it is to read properly-formatted text? This text displays all of its tags on kbin and it’s a nightmare to read.
