Here's a .onion link to the tor open wiki btw - http://kawbtpskqu7rr3t6ecz4fyutpzq7jtblin3wv5vamneryu4nwenhkgyd.onion

I haven't really worked on the tor open wiki since starting to work on the NIP-54 wiki, so the NIP-54 switch to asciidoc kind of makes me want to switch my NIP-54 articles to wikitext (as the tor open wiki uses MediaWiki).

I was planning on making markdown and wikitext versions of all my articles, but then the nostr wikis started the switch to asciidoc and I had to pump out markdown articles as fast as I could to fight against that, and then the rumors about Digit got more terrifying and it got hard to function at all.

Markdown is still just better than wikitext though, and having markdown versions of articles avoids contributing to the "compatibility advantage" of wikitext. That was part of my motivation for wanting to do articles with both versions. I'm not really sure if it matters though, since markdown isn't perfect anyway and there could still be a better formatting standard someday. Maybe the ideal strategy is to try to accelerate development of a decentralized wiki by forcing wikitext into the NIP-54 database to try to force support for it, leaving future programmers with better tools to work on standardizing text formatting and converting everything to a new standard.

It's straight up disingenuous of you to pretend you can't imagine fixing this with non-English-centric markdown standardization instead of asciidoc

This is a protocol

I thought the point of the post you're replying to was that if the first devs on the standard just do whatever they want instead of adhering to the standard then that's not good for decentralization which requires growth with more devs being able to join in freely

Please don't convert. Others should instead join me in ignoring this bullshit and waiting for clients to get good at displaying articles

Collapsible text isn't very well-standardized on the web itself. A lot of the time it uses javascript, and whether you're using javascript or not, there's no particular bit of code you can use for collapsible text with it guaranteed to work.

I guarantee if you fools keep using asciidoc you will end up making your own flavor of it with shit that isn't part of the core standard but ok, you do you

I have also made it clear I will not be converting to asciidoc and will be submitting articles using either markdown or wikitext and waiting for clients to display them correctly instead of pussyfooting around with this bullshit

It's also not better, at least for an ostensibly global-user-base project like a general-purpose wiki

Because wikitext would enable faster progress in the development of a decentralized wiki and nostr devs are here to divert progress, not enable it

English-centricity is your solution to markdown flavor issues? 🙄

Here's another example, the first one of my articles I've checked

I wonder how many of my 273+ entries would actually show up correctly

I find Wikitext easy enough to work with, and if you find it hard to work with, you can always post trash formatting with good wording and let people like me fix the formatting

Wikitext is what Wikipedia and most existing wikis use so the compatibility it would offer is the only valid reason I can see to switch away from Markdown

No, it's not better than markdown for anything that expects a global user base. It's too English-centric to be better for anything but an English-centric user base. Markdown has no English-centric features, it works equally for people with all the common language backgrounds and keyboard layouts worldwide

I might be wrong on this, idk

Surely there's an extension for that

Not really, they're just lying

They let you open ports manually every time you connect to the VPN but that's not the same as actual port forwarding support like AirVPN has and others used to have in the past

No, they hate that they were forced to pay into it like commies, and now they want the retirement money they were promised back at old age

This software probably also requires an OS and you might as well make your own messaging software while you're making the OS
