How did you do that? 😯

Maybe they fixed if after granting my appeal, but that would have been rather quick

🤷🏻‍♂️ ı just did it and it worked.

I hate all these secret styling stuff. Why don't they add a proper interface for all of it? A forum i used to use had that 15 years ago.

look up Markdown, it is the most commonly accepted syntax for formatting text in the software dev/tech realm

Markdown is what reddit uses for the secret styling stuff
