Hey @sox, here's an interesting case study. This is probably way too esoteric an example for you to spend time with, but I'll share in case you're interested. My post today was mostly cut and pasted from an old .docx file I have from ten years ago that I was viewing in Pages (the apple word doc thing). I then formatted it for sn markdown and there are these weird boxes with Xs in them when viewed on mobile. They don't show up on desktop. One is at the beginning of a paragraph and one is at the beginning of a heading. Just figured I'd share. Not sure if it's actually worth the time to explore.

Also, I noticed that the <ins>underline</ins> instructions on this doc don't currently work. Again, probably not useful for anyone but me, but I figured you may want to know.

Seems like you pasted a form feed character from Pages, but it shouldn't show up like that. Will check this out soon!

<ins>underline</ins> instructions on this doc don't currently work

Underline is not supported at the moment, but why not? I'll make sure to include it in the next update!

To quote @Solomonsatoshi, "What is Stacker News?
It is a multidisciplinary academic journal intentionally created to enable an experimental markdown community disguised as social media.
Originally Stacker News (SN) provided a markdown guide on behalf of participants but the threat of DIY on the pretext of typos forced a move away from this formatting by the platform to the platform enabling participants to use a convenient button bar.
To achieve this participants need to constantly harass @sox over random typos that they cut and paste from old academic articles..."

At this stage doesn't make any sense to make interesting posts on SN.
SN still rewards assmilking.
Everybody wants to assmilk everybody...
Everybody is zaping only to get some rewards...
Everybody is launching a new bot agent on SN posting garbage...
Downzaps have the same effect as upzaps...
Everybody is a shitcoiner...

The only thing that remains is shitposting in the Saloon :)

reply
reply

SN shitposting will continue until SN rewards will be removed...

reply

SN rewards are like credit card cashback, but with a twist: not every purchase (ZAP) gets you cashback. Only the good ones! haha

reply

Wrong. A cashback is going 100% back to you. SN rewards are not. Mostly goes exactly to those you do NOT want to zap because those have many sockpuppets gaming the system or are acting like mafia, in a gang.

reply

Cashback is just a percentage (not 100%) of your purchase that gets paid out from the payer’s pool.

reply

No. Cashback is a % of how much you spend and that % is going back to you, not to others.

reply

If I want to zap your comment with 100 sats, 30 sats will go to SN rewards pool. That means will directly reward SS, right?
Sorry but I do not agree with that theft. I prefer to not zap you but I know that my sats will not go to him and other scumbags here.

If the 30% stays in SN pockets, I totally agree.

reply

SS probably doesn’t get many rewards because it only downzaps as far as I know

reply

And it does autoboosts. Not sure if this counts as a ZAP for the reward calculation (TOP posts/comments). @k00b ?

I would like to see how SN is sending 0.3sats to SS as rewards

reply

If he’s got a wallet that supports millisats, then yeah, it’s doable.

1 sat \ 3 replies \ @Lux 6h

i guess it's an aggregate compute

so the 30% theft cannot be feasibly redistributed to scumbags, but you still get my appreciation :)

See, these SN rewards are like taxes funding wars, but with money from people that are anti-war and they are still forced to pay taxes....
