@design_RG Ok thats weird, I really didnt expect that to work. This is why in software debugging its always good to be thorough and not trust your assumptions, try everything :)
Well good to know now that I know the cause I know how to fix it too. I added a bug with details to the repo so I can fix that, should be an easy enough fix.
Still no idea why it would strip it in one theme but not another... but eh, ill figure it out.
@mur2501 Sadly true, I cant even escape it when im in the Netherlands.
@design_RG Yes its very strange... On a whim can you go to your preferences-> and see what your setting is for stripping rich text there? By default it probably wont have anything selected (but really defaults to not stripping), something im working on fixing now. But if you explicitly select the option telling it not to strip the formatting (or if that was already selected let me know) does it change anything?
@mur2501 Its everywhere!
The themes have no ability to have any effect on the html itself. You should fnd the html identical at all times across themes. Themes literally are just defined as CSS files and have no html associated with them.

If your assertion were true, and left and right were relative and the idea of center" shifts" relative to the societies perception then yes, that is exactly what one would expect, you would expect to see the center shift to represent the middle of the society and thus split the groups down the middle.
You are right there is no reason to think in reality there would be a 50/50 split, because left and right isnt relative but rather absolute and the center does not move with society at all.
This isnt something you just have a personal view on on a whim. The replication crisis is well studied and born out with actual evidence by trying to replicate experiments at a later date and seeing how often they can be replicated...
I mean your welcome to have an opinion or speculate however you wish, but unless you have some actual evidence that shows it exists throughout science as a whole, and not just limited to psychology, then its really just noise.
Can you reference an actual professional well controlled studied that has shown there is a replication problem that is pervasive to science?
going to have to find a way to pretify that but it might help thanks. I suspect the issue is more likely ont he css side than in the html itself though

Yea thing is the ">" prefix is how it would render by default if you werent rendering the rich text, for example if you turned the rendering of rich text off thats how it would show as it would use a different CSS to fall back to.
Thing is if i cant replicate the issue its really hard to investigate. If i were on Rob's computer id pull up the inspection tool and look to see if the HTML has the right tags and what css it is seeing and rendering, but I cant do that from my end if the issue doesnt get replicated here
.
As freemo, I've also seen it mainly in psychology, never heard of it outside that field. It makes sense, it's complex and young and in my opinion still lacks a strong paradigm to guide it.
There is no relation to ethnicity, race, gender or whatever involved, afaik, just some experiments giving different results now than before
Another important matter is that society changes, and people change, so while with biology or geology you will rarely have this kind of troubles, many psychological mechanisms are very much related on the culture and quickly change with it, making the experiments hard to verify.
To be sure, is not a fraud, it's mostly an epistemological problem, ie a problem of the methods
Can anyone on QOTO actually replicate what rob is seeing here? Apparently on dark theme quoted text using marked down does not render as expected it is prepended with ">" instead as shown in the screenshot on the linked status.
So far @design_RG is the only person who sees this and attempts to replicate havent been successful. Can anyone else see what he is seeing?
@hansw@mastodon.social
thanks, now this is odd, so me on chrome, and hans on firefox, both looking from the dark theme, see it as expected, but it only renders incorrectly for rob for some reason...
If i can get anyone to replicate what you see rob it might give me some hints to go on.. Right now it looks like it might be a problem unique to you for some reason.
Very strange indeed, I wonder why I cant replicate this with the dark theme... I am using the same theme....
@curt ahh interesting.. I suspect maybe they target whoever is loosingin critical states..
For example philly seems unusually pro-trump which would explain why campaigns here are focused on biden, trump doesnt need to invest much here.
If its firefox lets see if we can find someone else on the server on firefox with the same problem maybe, that way I can atleast rule out it being a problem for just you. I might need to install firefox myself.
Except for the unique handling of the links that screenshot looks very similar to how it looks for me here on QOTO.
