Same post viewed in Lemmy, it's all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.

For what other purpose does vertical text exist I ask you.

The typical example given is Japanese text traditionally being written vertically, but I am doubtful that it has any uses in a forum. That's a bit like claiming that you need cursive fonts because it is traditional in western countries.
