    2. @mmn some posted that link already on mastodon last week. The trick worked there because mastodon is not yet as secure as gnusocial ;-)

      1. @mcscx Yeah I got it on IRC earlier. gnome-terminal wouldn't make it clickable. Feature or bug? ;)

        Nevertheless, unicode spoofing issues is old news. Everyone know about the crap it endues. I think I've had a rant before about # being a tool of cultural appropration for the west.

        1. @mmn I remember that rant,but I didn't get it.Rather ASCII could be considered as cultural imperialism, altho I'm fine w/ ASCII in addresses

          1. @mcscx It was related to how Unicode aims to include "all symbols of all languages of all times" or something. Our western idea that bureaucracy and categorisation can classify all kinds of phenomena.

            1. @mmn ok, German Wikipedia mentions some examples of Unicode insufficiencies. Maybe more& more characters will be added in the next centuries
