@acw :D

@acw At my current company we (when we can) name various thing after Futurama characters. It's not bad as well :p

@wire Ah! TIL then :)

@clarkenciel right? :p

@wire huh?

This server thing reminds me I used to name my computers after Fullmetal Alchemist characters.
It was all fun and games until I got an actual job and ppl were confused as of "who the fuck is this Edward Elric on our computer network?!"

@clarkenciel I got this track stuck in my head for the whole day now! Ravine by Mikron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQoE00YXU-g

I guess it's the night I listen to loud electronic music while setting up a Debian VM to get my hands into setting up an actually cleaner server afterwards and become a decent sysadmin.

@nev haha. tbf I almost never comment on Reddit but I totally get why such a thing exists. Markdown is good once you know it but it's not very intuitive. And we're not even dealing with the subtle implementation differences!

@nev :D

@nev Exactly! I guess that the 500chars limit is very tempting, but like, no we don't need MD. And I didn't even mention the nightmare to craft an UI that's resillient to that as well >_>

@halkeye it me

I see some ppl wanting Markdown on Mastodon and I'm like: do we need that on a micro-blogging platform?

Plus it would be a nightmare to correctly count characters length with it. Is `_foo_` the same length as `foo` or not?

If not then formatting limits you in your toots and I feel like it's not very useful.

My 2cts ¯\(ツ)/¯

@pessimism I WANT THEM ALL D:
