and eventually [bhe fuvegf jrer bss naq jr jrer shpxvat rnpu bgure guebhtu bhe wrnaf]… well for a bit anyway haha [jr qvgpurq gur wrnaf jura jr ergverq gb gur pbhpu]
it was neat to be able to switch between hidden and unhidden text flexibly in the same sentence and i think it was better at actually giving people context for what they're reading
@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
optimistically i'm waiting for things to settle down a bit but who can say whether that will happen
@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
