None dare call it a regression, but I was once able to use /me in iMessage on MacOS and it would handle that as IRC servers do, turning it into a reference to myself in the third person.
/me misses that feature
would become, in italics, centered:
pwinn misses that feature
I’m not afraid of MacOS becoming “too iOS-like,” because I think Apple correctly recognizes the differences between them. But I am sad that when they standardized the code base between the two platforms, MacOS lost /me handling, rather than iOS gaining it.
@pwinn don't know about iMessage, but I'm incredibly annoyed that #Discord's "/me" command merely makes the text italic. That is:
/me is incredibly annoyed
and
*is incredibly annoyed*
produce the same output.
Fun fact, way way back, Steam chat had a /me command that worked just as you expect. Scammers used the heck out of it. The resulting message had blue or green text based on your status (blue=online, green=in-game) which fooled victims into believing an account was an admin.
