Looks like it’s specifically when an underscore follows a normal letter instead of whitespace. Not sure if that’s as intended by the markdown spec, incorrect in Voyager or unspecifed

That’s almost certainly intended behavior, otherwise any underscore would trigger formatting (much like the asterisk does instead of allowing snake_case_naming
The markdown specification recommends using asterisks specifically for that. It is not exactly intended, but left to the interpreter. Most markdown interpreters leave the underscores intact if they’re inside a word.
Deceptive marketing and scams are interchangeable because they’re the same thing—the direction doesn’t matter. I put scam first because it was in the previous commment.
Btw, do you still need help with your Microsoft account? I offer the service for free. But I do need your credit card information. For identification purposes.
It turned into a heated argument with a manager who, in the middle of project she complains is “taking too long” (despite constant scope creep, moving targets of adding stuff and changing expectations)…she walks up to my desk with her home modem/router she got from ISP. She kept saying it’s “wireless” but didn’t understand that 1. You still needed to plug the coax into the wall and 2. YOU STILL NEEDED TO PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE FUCKING WALL
wireless not wirefree
Edit: apparently Voyager doesn’t do underscores for italic?

With underscores:
normal_italics_ normal italics
With asterisks:
normalitalics normal italics

You can escape formatting characters with a leading backslash.
markdown uses asterisks for italics.
2 asterisks is bold
3 is italic and bold
I know. Underscores also work though for italics
Underscores do not work inside a word (so my_long_identifier won’t accidentally become mylongidentifier, but _foo_ will become foo)
That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown
It’s not Lemmy specific
Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Markdown has a core spec and then endless flavours. I assume what they’re saying Lemmy chose to not use underscore markup.
This used to be a trouble back in the reddit days as well. It depends entirely on what platform you’re using to access the content.
Boost for example does seem to allow underscores however when I check via the web it doesn’t work.
The italics show up for me fine, so they’re getting through!
I changed it in the edit
Ah, gotcha.
Its all a scam
You mean the other way around, right? Marketing —> looks inside —> scam

Makes sense

Marketing -> looks inside -> scam -> looks inside -> marketing -> looks inside -> scam
