I edit my posts sometimes because of spelling errors that I may have missed, but I have wondered sometimes if it will come off as me changing my post.

I'm not sure I've seen any post here where it looks like someone may have altered the original meaning to make themselves look better. Have you seen that here?

Yea, every internet community is being invaded by fascists. Since they've been pushed off the streets so much, many of them sit inside on the computer and spend time invading boards, making memes, software, and videos. Many Anarchists I know just don't know anything about computers, or even want to be on one very long. Unfortunately most of these entitled fashy white boys also have the privilege of having lots of access to computer hardware, access to knowledge, and time on their hands. There are tons of techy Anarchists, but I'd say not as many as the fash. This culture produces enough fash to keep them dangerous on this medium.

Soo it's reasonable to be cautious about deception, lots of trolls from around the web target this place, especially since it's a far-left link aggregation site with Tor access. Luckily there has been some incredibly talented help from people like u/emma (though they quit not too long ago, I think). The admins do a great job at keeping it clean, but you should always be wary that the fash are recording everything and will attempt to sow discord. They usually come in groups as a "raid", and occasionally we get some lone users come in screaming at "commie" stawmen.

Most of the time it's not bad, and most users here are pretty chill peeps, and the fash stand out around here because they try to pretend they're us, but come off sounding like aliens trying to pretend they're human.

If you click on "Syntax reference" at the lower right-hand corner of the box you type in when writing a post or reply, you'll be shown how to do different editing things like that.

Otherwise strikethrough is not mentioned in that reference and is two tilde's (~) on either side of a word:

so if you type "~~word~~" in, you'll end up with "word"

I post a rough draft of my comment and then edit the fuck out of it until it makes sense, same way I write fiction.

No worries. I wasn't expecting you to reveal your identity or anything, just thought you might have some cool stories.
