@alyssa if that wasn’t the case i definitely would have looked into it

@alyssa i’m ambivalent since the current public view will disappear in 4.0 (it’s all going to use the frontend JS; see mastodon.social which is running this code now)

(here is what this post looks like in the frontend for those of you on different servers btw)

(specifically the confirmation popup is broken; sorry local users we’ll fix that lmao)

(note: if you try to boost this toot it may break the app; like i said this is experimental)

The other day I was talking with some friends about the “old days” before Mastodon supported CWs, and how we used to EBG13 nyy bs bhe cbfgf because, guess what, if Mastodon didn’t have CWs we still wouldn’t throw nyy guvf fuvg out in the open. I realized that I actually kind of liked ROT13 better than the current system, because you could only ROT13 ⁜cneg⁜ bs n cbfg and the remainder would give the reader context as to how the problematic bit was being used.

Then I realized that our old ROT13 system was an effective plaintext fallback for pbagrzcbenel Qvfpbeq-fglyr fcbvyre gntf and that I could just implement that in Mastodon, so I did.

GlitchCat users! You can now create inline spoilers in your posts by using a <spoiler-text> HTML tag in either the Markdown or HTML content modes. Spoilers ⁜can⁜ include emoji but ⁜cannot⁜ include other markup like links, mentions, or hashtags.

Spoilers federate as ROT13 with special properties so that other servers can recognize them. If you are on another Mastodon instance which supports Markdown and HTML content modes, let me know and I can get you a patch!

ner jr onpx?

we run linting on our mastodon fork but we ignore it

« The McCarthy-aligned super PAC had a financial edge of nearly $90 million over its Democratic counterpart, almost entirely because 10 conservative families gave a combined total of more than $100 million. »

historians…

« For years, Mr. Biden has been fond of saying that “this is not your father’s Republican Party” to highlight the G.O.P.’s rightward drift. But the consensus-seeking former senator was loath to paint with too broad a brush.

Informal conversations with historians helped change his mind.

The historians explained to Mr. Biden the power of labels and how they had been used in the past to successfully confront far-right factions, helping him gain comfort in publicly tagging Republican extremism as “MAGA Republicans,” according to a White House official who discussed the issue with him. A study by Biden allies identified “MAGA” as the most effective label — a phrase connoting “extreme,” “power-hungry” and “radical” for some voters. »

i have a really good impa/zelda interaction slash ventpost sitting in my notes folder but i don't know how to turn it into a story so there it remains

@extinct@nitecrew.rip it's so much easier to moderate a small instance because you just have fewer connections to worry about and also you're not a target of anyone; it's the big instances who really need the investment in moderation technologies right now
