@reia honestly i HATE that fedi backends touch the text formatting at all . to the server the post content should be totally opaque it shouldnt matter at all why do they touch it

@fiore @reia yea the way text formatting on fedi works is awful. how do the servers even communicate with eachother? is it just plain text with a marker like "this is markdown"?

@fiore @reia but also i think we should use micropub for c2s, microsub for s2c and websub and webmentions for s2s because all of these protocols are way better designed than fucking activitypub oh my fucking god

@coolbean @reia p sure yea . but the server itself does somth to the text sometimes , depending on the implementation

@coolbean @reia @fiore iirc it's just text, the frontend turns your markdown into html before sending to the backend

@fiore @reia i think it's better this way tbh. That way you just have one format and it doesn't matter how the text was written

@rose @reia @fiore that's why they touch it. Weren't you around when everyone slapped gian annoying spinning things that covered the whole page outside their post in with html?

it is the web browser that does it as well, space collapsing, wrapping, etc

@fiore @coolbean @reia it's html iirc, atleast it gets delivered as such, and filtered dow. to protect against xss and the like to a reaspnable subset. other formatting gets converted into it

way more annoying bcs MFM is at least contained to the post, these just flashbanged you with absolute placement over the entire screen as soon as the post loaded in background
