Remember: don't use "a11y". Spell out "accessibility". Using a term that people have to decipher in order to figure out what you're talking about *is inaccessible behavior*.

For some reason, some Markdown implementations on the fediverse right now are either doubling \n or sending \r\n, which gets read as a double newline in many clients. This makes toots with newlines look twice as long as they're supposed to on the FTL, which really screws up the intended effect.

Please be careful with your Markdown implementations so that you're not making your users' posts look bad when they federate!

HEY FEDI DEV TYPE PEOPLE

If you're implementing markdown on your instance can you make sure you're not doubling up on \n or using \r\n? They get caught as multiple newlines and make toots look like crap

the anthem for FALGSC should be the internationale played on a theremin

for every time I've ever thought "wow that's a useless cw", there's been a time where I'm super glad it's there

food -> tummyache
mh+ -> hard day, don't want to be reminded
nonsense/nothing -> not feeling silly, just trying to get by

usually I just click past the cw, but I get to choose to engage or not depending on how I'm feeling at the time. which is super cool!

the amount of hedgehog activity in my garden drops a lot when it's raining

I'm assuming this means that all the hedgehogs are well fed and comfy enough to look out their little nests and go "nah, not going out in that today" if the weather's not nice
