You can’t count chrome and edge as two different browsers…

...Did you add an unescaped RTL toggle character on your user name?
For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:

Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild

Yay I am in screenshot
Voyager just ignores it
No issues in Thunder.

I have display names turned off, though.
It's probably in the display name, not the username so that would make sense. Would be interesting to know what happens if display names are on
i do remember doing that a long time ago
I strongly think Lemmy clients should have a toggle to show usernames instead of display names. Some of the Unicode is super obnoxious.
Some Lemmy clients like summit do (which I keep on, because display names are often cancer)
And now you're about to nerd-snipe me into checking if control characters are valid for user names in ActivityPub
By the way, if you want to replicate this effect for fun and profit, the control character you're searching for is U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE (or RLO for short)
There ought to be some kind of 2016 css subset that everyone sticks to and then we can reconsider maybe updating it to include any newer stuff that's absolutely essential once every ten years.
that mentality is one reason websites spam JavaScript today, because native features of the markup language were being added too slow
Gradual adoption is fine. It's so much better than seeing StackOverflow answers from like 2013, and knowing not a goddamn one of them works anymore. It's massively better than having to write separate code for IE and Netscape.
I don't believe, you should expect all browsers to implement all new web features in under a year. It takes time, like new C++ or C standarts. An like with all other standarts, the more parties are involved the more time it takes to adopt it.
You know what still works? HTML tables.
Suck it, all of the 2000s webdev.
Even apple phones added flexbox support in like 2022.
Flexbox spam is the new tables.
2022? That's in the future
Just don't create such a mess that you need cutting-edge features.
Cutting-edge JS is for boring stuff anyway. We've gone from formalizing the best bits of jQuery to 'click thing to make box appear.' So you're only avoiding tutorial-ass boilerplate, and quite frankly, boo hoo.
Meanwhile CSS is still in the "Jesus Christ why wasn't it like this to begin with" phase of feature adoption.
As if modern websites care about Firefox
Pretty much anything you might ever wanna do with a website, can be done with IE8 support. Rest is skill issue.
