    they’re using css :visited trickery and color filters to detect HN users because HN has been explicitly evading any other way of detecting referrers coming from them (instead of solving the moderation problems being mentioned)

    using dark mode messes with the colors which makes the text that’s supposed to be invisible, visible

      I’m using a web app (brave mobile browser) to view Lemmy. Android is set to dark mode and all the apps respect that setting. I have never visited Hacker News with this browser.

      That being said: why the fuck would Asahi go with a Red Hat distribution!?

      EDIT: found the setting that was causing the problem: “night mode” was activated by default on Brave.

        Because it isn’t? community distro with RH sponsorship != RH distro

        And to answer the question, because we asked and because we have the infrastructure to better support their project in a way they only need to focus on development, it’s literally written in the blog post.

          Excuse my misunderstanding. I thought that Fedora was based on RHEL and didn’t realize the reality was closer to being exactly the opposite.
