aaronpk would it be possible to have Loqi replace \n for spaces in titles (whether through superfeedr or p-name) much like how it does for tweets?

#
sknebel
also, could it have a length limit for "or" responses? :P
#
Zegnat
It took me a minute to realise Loqi parsed that as an or statement! :o

:sigh:
#
aaronpk
stripping newlines kind of makes posts look broken in IRC tho
#
Zegnat
You strip them for tweets though?
#
aaronpk
yeah only cause otherwise i can't reformat the tweets in the logs
#
sknebel
interesting
#
sknebel
well, my flight just started boarding, see you later

aaronpk
cleaned up the loqi regex for matching "or" responses
#
Zegnat
nice!

I think the worst part of the multiline posts being done by Loqi is when they are 7 lines like tantek’s. Drowns out the chat real quick then.
#
Zegnat
Wonder what could be done about that.
#
aaronpk
i could make the link preview stop at 3 liines
#
aaronpk
Loqi already truncates to some number of max characters
#
aaronpk
it's just when tantek does a bunch of short lines, there are a lot of lines within the 200 chars or whatever it is
#
aaronpk
oh that was also from superfeedr, hmm
#
aaronpk
i'm gonna need to make a smart truncating function and reuse it everywher
#
aaronpk
oh well, not a morning project
#
Zegnat
Yes, superfeedr sends along the post title. And in the case of notes, the entire note is the post title.
#
aaronpk
i'm really tempted to replace using the contents superfeedr sends with parsing the mf2 if it's available
#
Zegnat
Wouldn’t change the output though, unless you build the generic truncating there
#
aaronpk
yea its kind of a separate issue

Back. Yeah, some rule that allows 2 or 3 lines (and strips lines that are purely whitespace) sounds like a good compromise
#
sknebel
(The current infrastructure doesn't allow sending multi-line versions to slack and maybe the logs, right?
