Upon inspection, the author's personal website used em dashes in 2023. I hope this helped with your witch hunt.
I'm imagining a sort of Logan's Run-like scifi setup where only people with a documented em dash before November 30, 2022, i.e. D(ash)-day, are left with permission to write.
- brookst 10mo agoPhew. I have published work with em dashes, bulleted lists, “not just X, but Y” phrasing, and the use of “certainly”, all from the 90’s. Feel sorry for the kids, but I got mine.
- qingcharles 10mo agoI'm grandfathered in too. RIP the hyphen crew.

At least Robespierre needed two sentences before condemning a man. Now the mob is lynching people on the basis of a single glyph.
