@riley If you happen to come across an official guide to MastoMarkdown, let me know -- I had to work it out by trial-and-error.
@riley Ahh! Ok, here's what I understand at this point: you'd like a way to add annotations within a quoted text such that the annotations are in the same color as non-quoted text (because they're not part of the quote).
Have I got that right?
@riley This is how I'm seeing that post -- is your UI showing it differently?
By "the bracketed part", do you mean the line on the left, or...?
@riley inorite?? Seems to be Not the Done Thing these days.
@riley I don't think so... but I'm not sure what you mean about the [...]
bit. Where does that happen?
@riley That seems like a possibility. The fact that they're not just using Cloudflare suggests that whoever manages the infra has done some thinking about the options -- but someone like that is more likely to be thinking in technical terms rather than market/value-extraction terms, I'd think.
@riley The eu subdomain appears to be a redirect based on where you access it from; that same link changed the eu to a www for me.
Mystery solved?
@riley It's just the done thing, you know. 🧐
@riley It'd be nice if we could sue lawmakers for making laws that allow shit like this to happen, too.

@riley Makes me wonder if I should write a book on PHP, because I could totally do that.
...but who buys a book to learn a programing language anymore?
P.S.
YOU WOULDN'T

@riley Now wondering if possibly written by LLM....
@riley Every bit as epically mysterious as the language itself!

Some relatively-quick thoughts, to avoid the "get everything in there" mental wall -- more addressed to @mariusor than to @dredmorbius, I think (he's already aware of most/all of this).
Link-collection is something in which I have a keen interest. I kluged together a system for my MediaWiki-based political site (issuepedia.org), but it's ugly and slow and writing my own data-driven CMS is now on the project-pile. I'll be interested to see what you come up with, especially if its data can be integrated into other projects somehow.
I've been thinking a lot about what software can do towards maximizing reasonability in political discussions and minimizing bad-faith participation, and... well, basically this and this are what I've come up with so far. (Note that most of the writing there is from 2016 or so.)
Also, fwiw, I've been running/moderating this here fedi instance since 2017, so I've got some experience in finding what works (and Opinions about what doesn't).
Oh, and I should probably also mention these argumentation guidelines that I've come up with for Issuepedia over the years (mainly 2010-2022ish).
I have thoughts also, but no time left to formulate them this evening
@riley When people don't care that they're hurting other people, it's always okay to laugh at them.
