Yeah, it does that. That’s (one reason) why it’s good manners to use it sparingly.

It’s called Zalgo. Disappointingly, the Voyager UI protects me from it overflowing and smushes it together. :)

I imagine it is torture for people who use screen readers, so I apologise.

They did want it to be the new PDF.

no.

I be not bovveréd, forsooth.

Nay, I daresay I judge it not possible, goode Sir or Lady, notte now nor e’er.

Just don’t expect nuance or depth. Or, in case of languages that aren’t closely related to yours, to be understood.

Might also discourage people from feeding the trolls.

Okay but what do I do with it and not look like an absolute buffoon? Can I just have the ingredients simply put on a plate and not pay for the decorator?

I speak languages that differentiate between “t” and “d”.

You know how people often assume someone is trolling, simply because their account is new?

Another reason would be to not have a billion dead accounts on servers.

When I first considered signing up (I think it was on Mastodon), I was told how very easy it would be to move from one instance to another so it wouldn’t matter where I sign up - so I chose the first server that caught my eye. It was also implied that I’d need exactly one login for the entire Fediverse.

In hindsight, I’m okay with this not being true but it was a disappointment. At least moving servers (while taking your history with you) should be a lot easier if we’re trying to avoid big instances becoming bigger.

You’re not notified on Bluesky but since the information is public, there are services that let you look up if you’re on a list (clearsky.app is the most popular one - it might be the only one for now? idklol).

What I’m trying to get at is that people need to stay for a critical mass to be reached instead of going “there’s nobody here” and leaving.

And how do you think that larger userbase is going to come into existence?
