        The two formats are similar, but distinct. I’ve added an explanation to the introductory post and pinned it.

        TL;DR: In a NoSafetySmokingFirst, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues lead you to read it top to bottom. In a DontDeadOpenInside, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues lead you to read it left to right.

        There are is a separate Lemmy community for [email protected], but the current mods are a bit lax with the types of allowed posts :)

          Thanks for explaining. I’d like to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you for moderating the community. You are a hero of the internet.

            massive thank you for moderating the community

            You’re welcome! Glad people enjoy it.

            You are a hero of the internet

            I think that’s a bit much :)

            I’m just a normal person who spends their free time in questionable ways. I think the real heroes are the instance admins and the software devs.

              Nope. Hard disagree. Hero, and I won’t accept otherwise. Normal, maybe, but also hero. Thank you.
