@Vinnewed Goblin that was the joke yes I chose to use the little known parlance of gnu readline key shortcut for deleting the last word interpreted by raw terminal instead of rich text formatting for autistic reasons that prevent me from using it on fedi
(basically fedi handling of markup is a shitshow and inconsistent between clients (even when it's not markdown which especially fucking sucks (the reference implementation of markdown doesn't follow its own spec) because iirc it's rendered in the client (markdown especially was never meant to be rendered client side)))
