I like the idea of lemmy because it seems like a place people can have more in depth and less sensational conversations about things, which was my favorite part about OG reddit. I recently moved to Louisville and to my first city for that matter, and I wonder what y’all think about the crime rates. I looked at wiki crime stats for all major US cities and it seems to be about in the middle for most of them. Would you consider Louisville to be more or less dangerous than other cities you’ve experienced? Is it on a decline or an upswing? Holding steady? And what do you think people can do about reducing the number of incidents of gun violence, robbery, and assault?
You created a preformatted text block (code block) by adding four spaces at the start of your post. That’s a feature of the text mark-up language called Markdown. Markdown is converted to HTML in web browsers, or to native text formatting on mobile apps.
Normally all excess spaces are ignored. That just how HTML works, but when starting a line with four spaces (or more) Markdown makes that line use a monospace font and keeps all whitespace. Probably by using a
<pre>tag.I’m assuming you did this because you’re old and you added an indent to your paragraph. I’m old, too, and learned to do that in school for type written documents, but no one does that anymore. Instead, we use a blank line between paragraphs.
I’m not that old! People really don’t indent paragraphs anymore?
LOL I know! I don’t feel that old either and it annoys me when I’m sending an email and try to indent and instead get sent to the next UI element.
