@aescling legitimately i think this entire frontend is built on top of a jenga tower of outdated babel transforms which can never be updated

arrow functions which have `this.props` in their body

how does this site… function

there is something really horrifying happening in the glitchsoc frontend codebase

maybe instead of doing a discord‐style ||spoiler|| i should just do a custom elements‐style <spoiler-text> as that would at least make stripping internal markup easier (and also be easier to support in html)

like it kinda sucks that your ||very important spoiler you *don’t* want people to see|| doesn’t actually get spoilered because you accidentally put an <em> tag in there

that’s unintuitive, but also i have no easy way of federating that <em> tag and it’s way easier to just only process text nodes

Show thread

it’s a bit of a problem how to handle spoiler tags which contain markup; right now i’m just Not Supporting Them. a Better solution would probably be to strip the markup but that is computationally much more difficult

it’s really obvious from like a few seconds which moderators actually care about the safety of the people here, and which moderators care about cultivating a certain kind of liberal space or discussion platform with no considerations made for the fundamental vulnerabilities of being human, or not Enough for them to sacrifice their perfect vision of Liberalism in favour of actual measures to protect users
