TIL Voat's markdown supports abbreviations (TIL)

I have never seen a single comment use them. Example: GFY (mouse over those words, sorry mobile users).

That's not an abbreviation, faggot. It's an acronym.

If it's not pronounceable as a word (and I don't see how GFY would be), then it's actually an initialism not an acronym... faggot. https://www.dailywritingtips.com/acronym-vs-initialism/
FBI = initialism NASA = acronym
You are pedantic. I like you.

Stuff like SSRI's and HRT, ya feel me

Hey that's not that bad. I wish this would be used on those long-winded posts that include lots of links as sources. I'm going to have to remember this markdown and use it when appropriate.
