    The ampersands gets converted to HTML (aka & by various clients).

    In general, it’s a good idea to never use ampersands on the web. A lot of sanitizers do not process them properly.

      The majestic breadth of human language should not be truncated for some buggy soulless machine (heck not even that here, but the fear of one)

      It’s a good idea to never use shitty sanitizers on the web, but a great idea to use tags, ampersands, brackets, semicolons, commas, and dashes with great gusto to seek them out wherever they may be hiding.

      Computer may say no, but Sailor Sega Saturn says oh yes.

      Man this is next level cargo cult “security” thinking.

      Here’s a protip: logoff and delete your account, it’s the only way to be safe.

      Sounds like a “not my problem” kind of problem & I don’t see why I should care.
