del

Well, I need my text to be italic and if that is what lemmy offers me, I'm gonna use it. Seems like a problem on the lemmy end.

Who are are you to tell me how i can comment?

Maybe i want to emphasize and strengthen my comments?

How is that abusing them exactly?

If it gets rendered into HTML as em> and strong>, that's the fault of the markup implementation, not the users.

Test successful. Nice.
I just decided to use the classic variants from now on (by adding ''s), just as in the good old days!
