A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa’s state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.

      For reference, this is what it looks like for me (desktop firefox):

      So, looks fine to me formatting-wise. I read the intent to be that (1) they’re quoting you, and (2) they’re conveying a government building should not be a place for religious iconography, at all.

      I’d be happier if there would be no religious presence in government buildings too, but alas, the SC has ruled for what we’ve got. So I suppose it’s nice at least that we’ve got TST to help ensure our governments aren’t playing favorites

      …If the government is going to permit one ideology to put up religious iconography on their grounds, then they must…

      …stop and take those down.


      Out of curiosity, does the earlier post’s strikethrough for the part I’ve now removed show up for you? I’ve heard that some apps don’t handle all of the formatting options particularly well.

        What is the formatting used to denote strikethrough on lemmy? On Kbin it looks like it’s ignoring it, but it has double tilde as a supported strikethrough formatter.

          It’s the double-tilde over here too, not sure why kbin would ignore it. Strike!

      FWIW, I’m reading this thread in a Firefox browser on a PC and only the bolding works for me. I see the double-tildes at either end of what should be struck out text.
