From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.

There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526

awful systems heartily endorses this moderation style

The underlying reasons for rpg.net's moderation at that time were noble, but their implementation of many of their rules was a fucking disaster because it also targeted the people they were supposed to be defending along with allies who didn't pass their purity tests.

The ban on supporting Trump was one of the few things they did get right because it was simple and straightforward.

Beautiful jank layout:

Image descriptionDepicted: Some delightful lemmy jankiness, above messages were only sinlge years followed by a colon, which for whatever reason gets rendered far far too left, outside of the normal "draw box" for a comment.

My best guess: It treats any number followed by a colon at start of line as a list item, which has a hard x position for the colon, and since years are quite wide it overflows.

EDIT: Guess looks partially right, guilty css (nested in flex boxes):

ol, ul { 
  padding-left: 2rem;
}

it’s even worse on mastodon: it goes from plain text to markdown back to plain text, so both posts are just β€œ1.”
