Want to be a misogynist? Go to Hexbear! Just make sure you’re talking to a pup-girl first so you have plausible deniability and can complain that you aren’t being interpreted charitably enough for your blatant misogyny.

  • The superscript icon doesn’t handle links (or the markdown library handles it incorrectly?).

    This text:

    Rhino horns are a prized commodity on the black market, and organized criminal networks are involved in smuggling them from Africa to Asia. Image by [Rollison, Nan](https://www.fws.gov/media/rhino-horns) (Public Domain).
    

    Is converted to:

    ^Rhino\ horns\ are\ a\ prized\ commodity\ on\ the\ black\ market,\ and\ organized\ criminal\ networks\ are\ involved\ in\ smuggling\ them\ from\ Africa\ to\ Asia.\ Image\ by\ [Rollison,\ Nan](https://www.fws.gov/media/rhino-horns)\ (Public\ Domain).^
    

    Which does not render the link properly:

    Rhino horns are a prized commodity on the black market, and organized criminal networks are involved in smuggling them from Africa to Asia. Image by [Rollison, Nan](https://www.fws.gov/media/rhino-horns) (Public Domain).

    This markdown would render properly, maybe others would too:

  • Unable to manage (revoke) Private comm membership post-subscribe (maybe via ban if the user posts? Can’t if no post, haven’t verified if ban actually revokes view access) E: permanent bans do revoke access, haven’t tested others. Bans don’t show in your public modlog, do show in user inbox. That maybe makes sense. Request to (re)subscribe button does nothing?

    Unable to manage (grant) Private comm membership post-denial (unless user revokes and re-requests subscription)

    Notification for pending membership request not visible in header, only when expanding menu.







  • Editing empty multicomms is unintuitive. After creation, the “Subscribe to some communities.” text links to the comm list, which has subscription buttons, but are not for subscribing the multi, but me. It’s probably just reusing the view when you’ve subscribed to nothing, but ideally would either:

    • have “subscribe” linked to the multi settings
    • link to a comm list that subscribes the multi instead of the user
    • have some additional text like “from the multi-community settings”

    Also, unintuitive to display for users who didn’t create the empty multi











  • When trying to edit this post the body never loads. E: Luckily, editing it without setting the body doesn’t clear it, and I can copy the source and edit to actually update, but that’s painful.

    Also, I’ll figure out soon what happened previously, but: an mp4 I tried to render in the post looked like it would work well enough when previewing, but created a pictrs mirror that fails with:

    {"error":"unknown","message":"error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original?proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fscx2.b-cdn.net%2Fgfx%2Fvideo%2F2026%2Fbrookfield-zoo-chicago.mp4)","cause":"error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original?proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fscx2.b-cdn.net%2Fgfx%2Fvideo%2F2026%2Fbrookfield-zoo-chicago.mp4)"}
