@hitagi@ani.social

The username that was tagged in the post content got redacted automatically it seems. Is this something that happened on the backend?

Edit: looks like it isn't redacted in comments since I was able to mention you.

That's odd. I've seen that "[email protected]" thing from Cloudflare but I don't have it enabled nor should it be modifying posts this way.

I love ruthless characters that aren't tearing mindlessly through hundreds of minions just to then say that it would make them evil when it comes punishing the mastermind. It's one of my most hated tropes. The equivalent of a transparent moon in anime. Both can really get me started on an hour long hate triade.

A good MC in that regard is Alicia from <The Otome Heroine’s Fight for Survival> or Victoria from . Both are good and kind characters but if they encounter someone who needs killing they don't hesitate to get their hands dirty.

[META] Just a heads up. I will proably this or next week bring the updated Myne live. This will proably trigger her to react to old posts again. I will try to clean up after her, but if I miss something you know why she's reacting again. But as a bonus we get a lot of cool new features. (if everythign works)

Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay... even the entire world — has the following entries:

The Otome Heroine's Fight for Survival by J-Novel Club: 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Victoria of Many Faces by Yen Press: 📖 Vol. 1, 2; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2 (1 Bookworm rated it at average 8.0/10)

This will proably trigger her to react to old posts again.

Have you looked at adding logic to check the posts / comments timestamp and only updating ones after X date?

I thought about it, but she looks up only the last 10 posts anyway and it's easier to just jump into those 10 posts and remove the duplicates than to add some function to the script that is of use only once at first run.
