He was able to present leftist ideas in a way that didn’t scare
liberals. I’m sure lots of us on Lemmy got into leftism through Chomsky. Sucks that he sucked (so fuck him) but it is what it is 😞
Ok, but TIL somehow you type amerikkkan and a based af burning flag emoji renders, at least for me. Is that an instance thing, or is my client doing that??
It’s actually just me copy-pasting a small image hosted by Hexbear. I believe Hexbear does actually have some extra stuff for their users to call emojis, but what I’m doing is just copying the Markdown it generates using the ordinary embedded image syntax.
That’s awesome haha. It does indeed work, at least for me in .world using Boost. And also explains why it didn’t render for me in my initial reply lol.
Well that’s… Interesting to say the least. Opened the comment in a browser and long-clicked the image, and it is indeed as you say. You likely got downvoted cause it seems troll-ish, but this is some type of fuckery. Maybe it’s a .world thing?

Also thank you for verifying that this works 😁. I’ve just been doing it and praying it looks good.

Edit: It’s hexbear
I think it should work with any instance, it’s just that Hexbear did all the legwork of drawing all the flag burning emojis 😆
Edit: Just to prove it, this one is uploaded to SDF, which as an instance has absolutely no special features.
And the syntax pulls an image from any URL, so you can host the image on any website. Doesn’t even have to be a Lemmy instance.
So you can do this on .world as long as you have a URL to the image or a version stored locally. Which I ultra-encourage everyone to do
