I'm also curious why there's only one period, and it's not even at the end.

You don't need to use a period on the internet if it's the end of a line. The line break signals the end of the sentence, unless maybe they trailed off in

You really should though. Not ending with a period just looks... off. And there's really no reason not to, on phones, the period is generally right next to the send button on mobile, and it takes pretty much no extra effort on a regular keyboard.

Stop being lazy and actually end your sentences...

If you're typing a single sentence it's pretty common to leave out the period, this just keeps it consistent

I always use a period.
