Lol this is the second time a banned user's post got on the front page.

Also emojis is very uncanny somehow especially with the "banned" banner right next to the username. Like who the f uses "👉"? Cringe Youtubers? Just use bullet points lol. 350 posts in 5 days, jeez, and I thought I looked like a bot. 🤣

Markdown makes these into bullet points
Bullet points are more accessible and look better
They're easier to type
Just make a hyphen on a new line
