Formatting: The Invisible Skill

Formatting is 40% of whether a post gets read. Good formatting buys you another 4 seconds of attention before the reader bails.

  • One sentence per line for the first 3 lines
  • Empty line between every thought
  • Never end a line on a comma
  • The last line should land — not trail
The whitespace rule

Threads is read on phones at arm's length. Whitespace is breathing room. Without it, readers swipe away.
