I'm sad to hear that. I would have wanted my fedi admin to have stronger convictions against slippery slopes like this. Surely do I have to go through the laundry list of "optional" things that have enable the "embrace, extend, and extinguish" of many of our beloved libre technologies?

@NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng
I had voice my concern ages ago.

I also remember writing a draft reply to a toot he promptly deleted, though I can't remember what he said, nor prove that that happened.

Correct me if I'm wrong. That banner is on by default.

Assuming that as a counter argument, that misses the point of "voice".

@ducheng
It's particularly insideous because I can no longer trust Fediverse applications to provide a neutral social media network. The application authors feel entitled to "speak for me" through their software, whilst using my platform's voice. Completely dishonest.

If the banner said "don't kill kittens", it would still be dishonest, because it would imply to users that the server admin actively holds that believe. Forwarding a statement from WHO implies I read it enough to know, understand, and believe it is good advice.

I will review what WHO has to say, when I want, and I'll post an announcement if I deem it necessary on *my* platform. I trust you to write code, not editorial stances.

And banners are bloody annoying.

Another design, with "quoted and escaped string" syntax.

The primary principle feature is the "pipe literal string" syntax, for direct embedding of plaintext.

Secondarily, each line represent one "thing", and each should be prefixed with an unambiguous signifier.

The rest is details to bicker over. But that is the main idea.

Another design.

I published a draft file format for data serialisation, and I'm already having second thoughts. Seems easy, then the edge cases come creeping in.
