      I don’t disagree, but telling individual commenters to do better isn’t going to work when the technology fundamentally doesn’t allow for it.

      If you feel quite strongly about it, you could always open an issue with the Lemmy devs or the Mastodon devs.

      Otherwise I feel like you’ll just come off as kind of a jerk?

        It wouldn’t be ok if my posts came across all messed up on mastodon or some other platform.

        Bad formatting, and perceived weird etiquette of calling people out is weird here, regardless of reason.

        Like going to a foreign country and doing things that are out of hand for that culture. I’d expect to be asked to quit it

          it’s more like getting on a city bus and complaining to a passenger that they’re sitting under an ad on the wall. Pointless and just makes you look crazy.
