When you see it, you'll shit brix: The Hubzilla timeline.

The "it" that you're supposed to see is:
  • The Fediverse did, in fact, not start with Mastodon.
    There was something in the Fediverse before Mastodon: Mistpark was there almost 6 years before Mastodon, Hubzilla was there 10 months before Mastodon.
    Mastodon came into an already existing Fediverse with servers and users and content and a culture.
    The Fediverse has never been only Mastodon. And it will never be.
  • The Fediverse had quote-posts almost 6 years before Mastodon.
    (Accurate implication: The non-Mastodon Fediverse can quote-post any public Mastodon toot with no problems, and it has always been able to do so, for as long as Mastodon has been around.)
  • The Fediverse had groups almost 6 years before Mastodon which still doesn't even support groups.
  • The Fediverse had better lists than Mastodon lists almost 6 years before Mastodon.
  • The Fediverse had reply control almost 6 years before Mastodon where people are still waiting for some kind of reply control.
  • The Fediverse had permissions almost 6 years before Mastodon where the concept of permissions is completely unknown.
And if you've really paid attention:
  • The Fediverse had no character limit to worry about almost 6 years before Mastodon came along with only 500 characters.
    The Fediverse had 16,777,215 characters almost 6 years before Mastodon had 500 characters.
  • The Fediverse had full rich-text formatting almost 6 years before Mastodon.
    The Fediverse could generate bold type, italics, underline, code blocks, bullet-point lists etc. without any Unicode trickery. Almost 6 years before Mastodon was there. And more than 12 years before Mastodon could even only display that stuff.

Although it should be blatantly obvious: This here is not a Mastodon toot. This post comes from Hubzilla directly to your Mastodon apps.

I am not getting very good results online, so I am asking here. Is it possible to apply bold/italic to only the combining character of a letter (such as the ̈ within ö)
The character did not render correctly in my post (after pasting, the mark applied to the e, it didn't while I was drafting this) I am referring to the combining character in the included image, or U+0308 (Combining Diæresis)
I have been working on a large linguistic dictionary, and I am interested in doing something like this. #linguistics #unicode #richtext #formatting #syntax #help
Why the heck are we still using Markdown?? | BGs Labs

Can someone point me to a #RichText post on #Mastodon so that I can test a new feature?
GENTE A MONARCA CONSEGUIU. Depois de sofrer 30 minutos no HTML e Markdown, DESCOBRI que o bagulho era o RICH TEXT. Agora tô com estilo de postagem COMPLETO, posso postar até link, formatar text, colocar enlace, ser feliz. Muito burrx? Não, MONARCA DETERMINADA. 👑💅

You need to "escape" things, strip HTML tags, do gymnastics?

DO IT! 🤬

Sacrificing #Tooltips #UI #UX ain't worth anything!

Make #tooltips render in a degraded state, if that's what it takes!

Even better idea: filter USER INPUT! 👍

Exclude/strip fancy #RichText formatting!

Tooltips, mouse-pointer-hover, #help texts were NEVER supposed to be #RichText!

You get line breaks, "\n\r", NewLine+CarriageReturn - the realm of text/plain! 🤓

#Mastodon

What software solution do you use to sync text between your PC and mobile devices? #Plaintext .txt, #RichText .rtf, #Markdown .md, anything is fine. My #Syncthing + #Joplin setup continuously fails to sync properly for whatever reason so I'm looking for alternatives. #Logseq works nice for lists and page linking but makes longer text paragraphs awkward. Are there good plaintext editors for #Android?
