I'm on oldsh.itjust.works and it looks fine to me, no abbreviation. Edit: I'm on my phone

Thanks! I noticed the discrepancy on the desktop site first and I’m glad everybody is chiming in with results on different browsing methods

It looks okay in the Connect app.

Thanks! The automatic conversion of a trio of periods into slightly differently sized ellipses annoys me, but it seems like that’s the default format.

Results:

On Voyager mobile app, the quantity of punctuation typed = quantity of punctuation displayed in published comment

On desktop site, the results are interesting in how they vary

More than 3 exclamation points becomes 3 exclamation points

More than 3 question marks becomes 3 question marks

2 periods becomes 3 periods, 5 periods becomes 6 periods, 8 periods become 9 periods. Seems like the rule is if the quantity of periods is 1 less than a multiple of 3, then an extra period is added to make it a multiple of three.

on 'old' here, it is as written for all three. no lines are truncated.

Thanks for mentioning that. I had completely forgotten that “old” style was a thing. It is odd how some of the periods are larger than the others, as if they were bolded; must be that periods in ellipses (trios of periods) are smaller than periods not in ellipses. Screenshot for posterity’s sake

sorry for not catching that, i don't use the glasses when using the pc.. but closer inspection reveals it uses an ellipse where possible (three dots), which is narrower than the three individual characters it replaces.
