Jeremiah, 1 month ago @randahl @lukem It has nothing to do with the quality of the screen reader. These symbols have specific meaning and are correctly read as their intended meaning, not as a visual hack. https://twitter.com/kentcdodds/status/1083073242330361856/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1083073242330361856¤tTweetUser=kentcdodds Mastodon does not yet support rich text authoring, but it does support rich text viewing from more capable servers.
