          I don’t get it.
          Are you replying to “Except fun fact…no.” - u/[email protected]
          Or to my reply to it, that implies, maybe their renderer is non-standard and causing the backslashes to not work.

          \>\>:| --> >>:| works pretty well for me.

            this is a whole mess of confusion and miscommunication that probably absolutely no one cares about, and I for one am happy to just watch

              I see, so the confusion is about whether u/[email protected] intended the double eyebrow or they made a mistake with that and are being corrected for it.

              I thought they wanted the double eyebrow, because why would you put 2 if you only wanted one? And if you wanted the “quote” option, you would just not escape the leftmost “>”.


              In case my above words are more confusing, Yes, it shows up as 2 sets of eyebrows for me too.
              I thought that’s what the Thread Starter wanted.

                No, they were trying to make only one set of eyebrows appear. They tried fixing it by using two sets, thinking using one as a quote would make the other appear as a set of eyebrows. Instead, they got two quotes.

                Also, you type usernames on Lemmy like this: @[email protected].

                  👍

                  But then they also went ahead and put backlashes on both of them. That makes me unsure.
                  Also, do your UIs not have the “Preview” and “view source” features?
