      to be truly lowkey you also have to not use punctuation

        i find a good mix is to use punctuation on everything except the last word in a paragraph. this allows you to have structured word groups without ending on a ominous and way too formal proclamation

      why do we do this though

      i literally uncapitalise stuff that autocorrect does

      it just looks way too formal otherwise

        need to show the world that i'm anticapitalist, and that includes not using capital letters.

        Depends if I'm on my phone or pc, on pc there's no point putting in the effort of hitting shift but mobile autocorrects to capitals etc, you can probably tell what I'm using atm

      lmao yeah, on old bbs boards and imageboards, people detest "lowercase posters" because they associate it with twitter shit, which makes me want to lowercase post harder
