I still haven’t figured how to escape an ampersand in Lemmy post titles (which regards ‘&’ as a control character). So I chose as similar an alternative character as possible. \

    A small ampersand (U+FE60 “Dungeons﹠Dragons”) and a fullwidth ampersand (U+FF06 “Dungeons&Dragons”) are available. But the Pfennig symbol is OK, too.

    Other &-like symbols: ՁՖઇછઘଌଥୡ౭໕ខឧ᱒⃥⟅⨢よ꯴𐒒𐓯𖩒𝛂ͦ𝛼ͦ𝄞

      I just don’t know yet how to get Lemmy to display unspoiled & in post titles. As for other special characters, I copy them from the wep, from a character picker or from a mobile keyboard.

      Definitely looking for alternatives.

      My triforce skills are limited.

        The best one seems to be fullwidth ampersand, it renders similarly to an ampersand with spaces around it. It does not become &: in Lemmy post titles.

        Comparison:   »&«   » & «

        It’s been in Unicode since 1993 so it’s very well supported.

    The HE GETS US campaign has to be my most hated reddit advert of all time.

    Ohhh is that why he allows all the atrocities of humanity? Because he knows deep down we want to suffer? He lets children be trafficked and murdered because he gets us. He lets newborns know nothing but pain before starving or suffocating in a trash bag in some piss soaked back alley because HE GETS US

    They say “GOD IS GOOD” on a facebook post about a child waking up from a coma. Okay what about the thousands of children who didn’t wake up from their coma today? Where’s his credit for that? They happily attribute every petty little fortune to god and put their attribution-blinders on to all the horror.

    “no it’s satan who is responsible for all the bad things!”

    Well isn’t that fucking convenient! The problem is that their god is omnipotent, all knowing and all powerful; satan is not. So anything satan does inherently must be done with god’s tacit approval.

    HE GETS US

      Dead children go to heaven anyway, so there won’t be suffering
