Anon thinks normal experience is unique.

I thought Big Tech loved burning money.

I do feel bad they're getting harassing DMs and death threats though, that is taking it too far. But I don't know what sort of reaction they expected from doing something so underhanded and then taking the high road after.

If it was really just crazy users and maybe some crazy instances, I would be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt (assuming they changed it, which they are not). But the "perchance" block... Blocking Blahaj entirely... I have a very difficult time accepting this is anything but a personal grudge.

Maybe I'll just say perchance in every post so they don't have to see me lol

Eh, I guess my opinion is somewhat colored by seeing some of the things they decided to block. Like "perchance" stood out. None of that specific information was in this post.

Ah, I see. If you don't remember, don't sweat. I'm mostly curious just because posix issues is one of the few complaints I hear but I never see anything specific so I'm extremely curious lol. Please don't mistake this as one of those fanboyism moments where people try to say something they like is actually perfect and doesn't have flaws.

My understanding of shebangs is that it isn't your shell doing anything fancy with it, it's your OS (or something, I don't remember exactly, but it's lower level than the shell). So maybe something else borked. But I'm no fish expert, I have some error in some fish thing that prints an error every time I open a new shell that I'm too lazy to troubleshoot lol.

Have you run into a specific problem or is this just a hypothetical you're worried about. I see this a lot but haven't ever actually run into it being a concern. If you run a script with #!/bin/sh from a Fish shell, it won't use Fish, it will use whatever you have sh pointing to. (Which shouldn't be Fish, it's usually bash or dash.)

Your TLDR reeeeeeealllllly buries the lede.

This shit is rich

I did [bad thing]. I could have done [worst thing], but I didn't.

All of this shit falls flat when the dev themself admits they hid the feature to disable deep in the app and even called it "toxic mode". Is saying "perchance" toxic? Because that's one of their blocked phrases. Fuck no, it's not. This is just shit the personally dislike and put it in under the guise of making the fediverse more normie friendly.

As if silently hiding content with phrases like "perchance" and causing a massive drama makes the fediverse more normie friendly.

Field sobriety tests are always voluntary

It may not always be so simple. In my state (Georgia) there is "implied consent" (yes, disgusting term) to breathalyzers and refusing one gets your license suspended for a year. This is after arrest actually, so it might be different.
