Is it possible to blur text in articles' titles and text?

May I suggest something ancient like ROT13? Bookmarklets are easily made to be able to decypher such content, or at a pinch it can be copy-pasted to a tool elsewhere. e.g. Spoiler for some film or another; ROT13: Arb jnf n cbgngb gur jubyr gvzr.

Advantages: Still looks like text. Reasonably identifiable as some kind of letter cypher, which will allow the reader to guess that it might plausibly be something like ROT13 even if unlabelled.

Disadvantages: Old enough to confuse new people. Eventually someone will learn to read it without tools and get spoiled anyway.

Edit: Also not ideal for International users, but I assume there are other cyphers where ROT13 won't work.

I tried making this myself with magazine styles, but it didn't work. As a native feature, it doesn't exist yet.

The problem with using a magazine style is also that it would only work for people viewing the content in the browser, on the same instance.

Lemmy has its own spoiler syntax. Hopefully Kbin will support that at some point so that spoilers just work regardless of where you're reading from.

::: spoiler If you see a spoiler here...
You're either from the future or a Lemmy user
