anime.website users: i'll have to eventually reboot this vps completely to complete a mandatory IP address change by my hosting provider; in that time i'll also reconfigure pleroma to disable rich text until further notice, just due to the complexity it adds
if you have any emotes you wanted that i forgot about, now would be the time to tell me about those too, i'll try to add them during the downtime

@matrix why what
@wowaname Why do you wanna disable rich text?
@matrix i explicitly said why in my original post, please re-read it
@matrix like, every time i see formatting used here, it's treated only as a novelty and not anything that's really of use, save for the code/pre tags, but even those are kinda pointless
how is rich text implemented? html or markdown currently.
what does pleroma do with the markdown and html? parse it.
oh wait, you said html, thats a lot of allowed tags. what does pleroma have to do to keep it safe? whitelist the allowed tags, keeping in mind to maintain compatibility with current posts as well as to allow enough to be usable
both the parsing stage and the "allowing enough to work" stage are incredibly difficult to get right, and we've seen this with the spinning text shit, the <span class/> shit, and possibly more to come down the line. it's something i dont want to have to deal with, and i'm biased as a past twitter user and a current email user: plaintext is more than enough for microblogging
