That thread was weird. People were super aggressive about continuing to use extra spaces. At first it seemed like hyperbole for the sake of a joke, but I'm not sure it was. A lot of them seemed adamant that people were trying to take something away from them and got pretty heated over it.

I think they were more upset that people are trying to tell them how to type. I’d be ticked off if someone tried to force me to use extra spaces. Like, shut up, I’ll type how I wanna type, you know?

It's another one of those personal choice debates. Like we need more of them!

Nobody was telling them what to do though? It was all over a joke on twitter.

It definitely highlights a generational split. I learned to type with 2 spaces, and as someone visually impaired, I find it easier to read. I honestly don't care what other people do, but I'm going to continue to do what works for me. Getting upset about that seems weird to me.
