@aescling @coriander i think you're overthink it lmao

@aescling @coriander before mastodon had CWs, ROT13 was how people hid sensitive content, especially lewds

so the implication of having a ROT13 username would be that somebody was typing a toot to your normal username but ROT13'd it because it was a lewd post

the keyboard stuff was just because coriander was looking at keyboard maintenance things earlier today and "switch" is a funny polysemous word

@aescling @coriander this is how we used to internet https://mastodon.social/@marrus_sh/638789

@aescling @coriander there was a time when this was a very good joke https://mastodon.social/@marrus_sh/671873

@coriander (also blackle did the actual first implementation)

@coriander like he didn't WANT to but he didn't want

lewd//unun tbaan vafreg fbzr fjvgpurf va zl xrlobneq vs lbh xabj jung v zrna

on the public TL either LOL

@coriander the only reason he did was because everyone was ROT13ing their posts and that was "bad for onboarding"

@coriander communists who like work but hate workdays

@coriander if it wasn't for capitalism i just wouldn't have changed my clocks

@coriander i refuse to grace it with the honour of my acknowledgment

@coriander not what i think of when i think of switches

@coriander this is the true enlightenment
