No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

On PieFed, that character is automatically converted to 'th'.
That's savage.
😄
That's horrible, the engine is misrepresenting people's messages. Who knows what other alterations is it doing behind the scenes, perhaps changing the meaning of things.
Lucky for you, python is quite readable and the person who wrote it is available to answer any questions you might have.
Start here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/2e9189764159a1fdd0243875f3ef76a76bca0bbb/app/utils.py#L553
Two week old change. Rather pointed.
Source code availability only partially addresses !lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org's concerns. I think this filter is funny but I think it's muuuuuuch bigger dick move than adopting an affectation in some lemmy comments, and it doesn't reflect well on PieFed. I'm not going to review all the code in the project, I'm just going to pay less attention to the project overall.
Edit: Oh look, you are that person!
So the entire platform has code specifically to spite that one person? Talk about being a whiny sore reddity loser. It's a shame that conduct like this can stain piefed's name.
Why spite?
People consider something a problem and this fixes the problem. The person can continue writing whatever characters make them happy and the others won't need to worry about their text being cumbersome to read.
It's a much more a usability improvement than something done out of spite. I would say the assumption about spite stems from your outlook to the world.
No, it replaces thorns (or whatever character) for everyone, as it is built-in into the platform. It would also mean it replaces valid uses of thorn (or whatever character). Such as in quotations, math formulas and the like.
It's literally just spite. There is no other reason. And you as a user may not know what about what you speak is being censored this way until ex post facto.
It speaks of my worldview yes. I see spite, I should be able to call it as such.
Dunno. I'm using PieFed and this is how this discussion's þ-characters look on my screen:
I'm pretty much okay with this :)
EDIT: Then again, in that comment of my own, I wrote the thorn character, but it shows as th to me. Confusing :)
Always good to have more receipts, þanks.
