From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.
There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526
Beautiful jank layout:

Depicted: Some delightful lemmy jankiness, above messages were only sinlge years followed by a colon, which for whatever reason gets rendered far far too left, outside of the normal “draw box” for a comment.
My best guess: It treats any number followed by a colon at start of line as a list item, which has a hard x position for the colon, and since years are quite wide it overflows.
EDIT: Guess looks partially right, guilty css (nested in flex boxes):
it’s even worse on mastodon: it goes from plain text to markdown back to plain text, so both posts are just “1.”
