    Is there a link from a source other than xitter? We should not be normalizing the use of a platform that supports fascism, racism, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobobia, transphobia, antisemitism and other bigotry.

      You’d think people on the fediverse would understand this but I’m beginning to realize that for some it’s just another “social media” platform to add to their collection.

      You mean the internet?

        No. I mean havens of conservatism like Twitter, Truth Social and NAMBLA.

    I know nothing about Chinese characters but you would have to think it’d be easier to break all the characters into basic elements and have a dictionary that told the user what elements to add.

    I thoroughly recommend the book “The Chinese Typewriter”. It goes through the various challenges that the Chinese language pose. How do you order characters, like in an alphabet? How it was encoded in Morse, or later on, in ASCII. And of course, the various attempts at Chinese typewriting. Actually quite fascinating!

    Is there a way to see this without going to twitter?

      Yes! I originally found it posted on their TikTok account:
