   Oh wow. Masto rendering of block quotes is even worse than I had realized. It makes it look like my comment on the quote is meant as part of the quote.

     yeah, I vaguely recall pointing that out a while ago, though that might've been to a different non-masto user.

     It's why I still wrap my blockquoted text in angular quotes to make sure it also is clear on fedi instances and clients that don't support formatting.

     e.g:

     «this is an example of a blockquote.»

     And even on fedi instances that do support formatting, we sadly can't trust that they get properly converted between the different standards. For example you yesterday posted an image with a multi-line image description. Instead it just rendered like a link with the HTML for the formatting and linebreaks escaped as literal text as link text.

     @FiXato Yeah I'll put triple double quotes around it like I used to.
