I've been using it pretty consistently for several years now. I think something about Lemmy attracts the type of people that use interrobangs, rather than Lemmy creating a culture of interrobang use.

I've been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven't had much luck though.

When I was a teenager I used it a lot; irritated the hell outta people for some reason lol

I had an eloquent friend who used them in college. The advice he got from TAs (many were from overseas) was to not use them.

[-] techt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I got that advice as well -- the explanation given to me was that it's almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don't. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.

Yes the TAs were wrong.
