No clue, my only extant iOS devices at this point are my well-loved iPhone 4 (early model with actual Phillips screws), my very cursed green iPhone 5c, and my relegated-to-die-by-iOS-9 iPad 3.

I think client's shouldn't try to interpret markdown unless the instance supports it (which isn't a standard Mastodon feature at all), but #Fedilab bucks that trend, and it's honestly kind of a nice feature.

Well, cough the powers-that-be think handing out #BirdSite features like #QuoteTweets is much more important, even though they staunchly explained why those features should never and would never be on mastodon at the beginning of the #Twexodus. :P

Twitter since 2008, lol. Well, until last year ;)

I think they're being clever about it, though. They're adding the twitter-like features in a way that mostly preserves the feel of the #Fediverse.

Hopefully, you'll get notified if someone quote-toots you, and will have the option to block it. That would be the decent way to implement it.

@RL_Dane I mean markdown still looks decent even without formatting

NOT WRONG! That's why I love it.

I don't hardly ever convert markdown to something else or use a viewer. (neo)vim's built-in markdown syntax highlighting is enough for me. It's very enjoyable to use.

@RL_Dane still haven't fully tried neovim. How clean is it's codebase?

@fbievan

That's not something I can comment intelligently on, although perhaps @benjaminhollon or definitely @sotolf could.

I know they added some features to vim, like Language Server Protocol (not sure what that is) and Lua scripting.

I honestly can't even remember why I switched, but I'm liking it so far.

@RL_Dane @fbievan @sotolf
I haven't looked at the codebase, so I'm not sure there. But I like being able to have the plugin ecosystem in addition to the normal vim plugins; a lot of great development is being put into the nvim ecosystem right now.

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane @fbievan it's coming along, I haven't looked a lot at it, but I think they are still working on cleaning it up :) so it's cleaner than when it was vim.

I have been really liking it, though for how I use it I could probably cust use standard vim :)

fbievan, 8 months ago

@sotolf @benjaminhollon @RL_Dane yeah, I think vim has gotten to the point where for most uses vim is prefectly reasonable compared to nvim.

Most of the times I'm not actually coding or shit, normally making changes to config files or writing.

@fbievan @sotolf @benjaminhollon

I actually think I switched over because it was easier to install than #Vim on #BSD (forget which one).

So far, I like it, but I only use about 1% of its features.

Easier clipboard integration doesn't hurt either. :)
