toot like an old
The anxiety demon that lives inside my head keeps trying to tell me that I... "toot like an old". Something about how I use capital letters, punctuation, rare emoticons, and basically no emoji.
I don't put any stock in what my anxiety demon says – that asshole is a liar and a fraud – but it does make me think....
What all do you folks think is off or strange or dated in how you type when you toot?

@ElectricKeet i still use weird inflections
like this~ and -this- and such, which are typing quirks i picked up from an old old friend from a pokemon forum

@Oneironott As a result of many years of text-based conversation via BBS, MUCK, IRC, Slack, and a zillion others, any attempt to emote or emphasize runs about a one-in-three chance of being in the wrong idiom, leaving me with too many asterisks, not enough asterisks, unsightly underscores, or other such typographical abominations.
Relatedly, have I mentioned how much I despise systems that automatically convert otherwise legitimate Unicode like ™ into emoji? Same thing at work.
