on Communist Bear Site they automatically censor out your punctuation marks in order to make your writing conform to a worse standard, calling double spaces a bourgeois decadent waste of space.
This is exactly why text being controllable by the end user is always the best accessibility choice--not everyone's accessibility needs are the same! You're definitely not alone in preferring that extra space. I have had learners that have a much easier time with two or three spaces between sentences, and even a couple that preferred extra space between words.
Usually as long as the spacing was consistent the river problem was avoided. Though of course, many people never see or notice rivers, and that particular accessibility issue isn't one that touches their experience.
I hope you find an extension that works for you. I don't know any that add that extra space (though there are options in word processors to add that). Sentence Segmenter breaks lines after periods, so it's certainly possible for one to add space after periods I would have to assume.
