An apple is not an orange, but they are both fruits.

@skyjake Generally I like steganography, but text-based steganography is just one of those things where it seems like the benefits would mostly accrue to large, powerful entities looking to stop leaks. Plus, a joiner/non-joiner character can be thought of as a function that accepts two typed (no pun intended) arguments. Why *shouldn't* it throw an error? · 1 year ago
@skyjake Right! I always forget about the zero-width characters somehow. On that subject: I wish it were part of the Unicode standard to display an error character instead of a zero-width one if it's placed somewhere it has no effect on the rendering of the text. My reasoning is that these make it easier to hide identifying markers in plaintext.
For example:

@lykso One can manually insert a zero-width nonbreaking space... 😄 · 1 year ago

@krixano There's no escaping in gemtext. The trick would be to add a space before "special" characters in Station, I'd think. Including a hashtag at the end to see if Station strips them no matter where they appear. #ForScience! · 1 year ago
@lykso I see what you did there :D
Sidenote, I think it eats your hash sign because the site filters that out or it would think it's a heading line. I wonder if gemtext allows escaping so that we can still use the hash at the beginning of a line without it turning into a heading everytime... · 1 year ago
Aww, it ate my hash sign... · 1 year ago
