weird article on the front page of esquire about twitter vs #mastodon that doesn’t understand even the basic premise of the #fediverse and misses out entirely on the nature of why lots of small self hosted nodes are stronger then one centralized capitalist blob but alas you have to start somewhere. I have a feeling we are gonna get another wave soon. also a little shoutout to #diaspora in there.

@darius naw I don't think its unicode's fault. its something mastodon is doing specifically with its rendering of certain characters and not others. screenshot of same browser.

@wakest one thing I've learned in years of software development: when you dig down deep enough, it is always unicode's fault
