this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

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.
Seconded, and fuck yeah on your avatar. ✊🏼🐙🕵🏼♂️🛰️
Beautiful jank layout:

Depicted: 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.

Depicted: 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 “1.”
