The dashes are code for a line space.

You are only the second person to point this out because most people can't see them.

Apparently the line space code is visible in one of the mobile apps or mobile browser modes. I'd like to know what you're using. I pinged /u/d3rr before (and just now) and suspect he'd like to know too.

I also wonder how much of the Commenting wiki manual (issues, tips, tricks, Markdown code formatting guide) is accurate only for PC browsers.

I care about grammar, punctuation, capitals, and presentation, out of respect for the readers and for clarity. Why bother to share anything at all if it's a struggle to decode and read?

I stopped bitching about the SaidIt GUI a long time ago and created custom CSS's to improve all the stupid little things that could easily make SaidIt a better experience. One of these things that drives me nuts is the space between paragraphs is much too tight needing only a pixel or two more.

More than not having the paragraphs blend together into a single mass, the silhouette of block of text is important for keeping on the correct line as you're reading. If you start on the top line of a paragraph and reach the end of the line you must continue on the second line, but if that second line is muddled within a block of text it's harder to read.

Ironically my eyes were just fine when I started the CSS and this (bad?) habit of re-formatting everything, but over the last year it's become obvious that I need glasses and my eyes are declining more than I'd prefer.
