Hey! CSS developers! I want to hear from you.
I'm improving the way line clamping works in Chrome and in the specs. The existing -webkit-line-clamp property is a mess, because it will only do something if you have other properties (which are legacy versions of flexbox properties), and we can't fix that because of web compat. But we can add a new line-clamp property without those issues!
But right now I'm dealing with what should happen if you have both properties set on the same element:
line-clamp: 3;
-webkit-line-clamp: 4;
(Note that if we remove line-clamp: 3, this wouldn't clamp, because display: block prevents -webkit-line-clamp from working.)
So what do you think should happen?

Okay, so not all of the formatting that glitch-soc lets you have is supported by stock Mastodon (I used the tag in the previous toot, and stock Masto gets rid of it.)

After my Mastodon server being down for like 16 hours because I suck at sysadmining, I think I now can use rich text in toots. I hope this works at least!

In case you want to hear me interviewed by @Meyerweb about the stuff I'm working on related to line-clamp in Chromium, while sounding completely stilted and nervous (and tired from taking care of the organization of the face-to-face), go check this out I guess!
