Here's an interesting idea: When writing a headline, add substantial context so we know what the article is about.
Wow try being nicer I assure you it doesn’t hurt :)
I think your mistake was assuming users woudd read the subtitle you had put in a space Lemmy users are used to seeing dedicated to much more detailed summaries of, or even the entire, content. Even if subtitles are closer to the intended use of that space and you did provide plenty of context with the subtitle.
Try expecting less of people. I assure you it will save you a world of pain and a lot of yelling at clouds.
from the thumbnail, i really thought this was gonna be a joke about reinventing paragraphs
Not being intended as a joke makes it even funnier. I mean, the lack of awareness is amazing.
I'm not even sure I understand it if it's not a joke, and I read the entire thing 😳
A maximum line length of 80 characters is RECOMMENDED.
This is a terrible recommendation. It defeats the purpose of semantic line breaks if you insert them for non-semantic reasons as well. It also makes editing much more difficult. Let client software handle soft line wrapping, so the user can customize it as it makes sense for them. If your client software doesn't handle soft line wrapping in a sensible way, find better software.
The idea is to keep significant bits of thought under 80 characters.
That should be out of scope for a spec which "MUST NOT alter the final rendered output of the document."
It's not the place of a markup language/spec to influence writing style.
