Action Performed:

1. Open any chat
2. Type ~~~~ inside any text (~~~~, asdf, and even asdf)
3. Send message

Expected Result:

There is no way to write ~~~~ (without the code block)

Actual Result:

In slack, I can do ~~~~, asdf, and even asdf if I hit cmd + z when it turns it into a strikethrough (otherwise it's asdf). In NewDot, I can't figure out how to do these - if I try to escape a tilde with a backslash, it just does a strike through that as well.

Workaround:
