Bunch of sites are streaming the sinking ship in real time:

Let’s see what the next 48h are gonna bring… My guess? Not much, and we’ll just keep moving forward. Screw them.

    Didn’t they work on reddit? I used our German umlauts plus a bunch of Chinese characters here and there and that never gave me any trouble.

      I am using the Linux compose-key (in my case mapped to the otherwise useless Windows key) to create special characters, and the reddit fancypants editor is somehow javascript-sabotaging the inputs that are made that way. E.g. compose key + , + c = ç - the special character is typed into the text window for an instant and then immediately deleted by some stupid javascript code, for god knows what reason. Creating a text elsewhere and copy-pasting works (in legacy editor, copy-paste really messes up the fancy pants editor window most of the time)

      In coding-related subs you would often try to type the backtick (`) to start and end code blocks. The fancy-pants editor would just remove them.
