malyminWell, nobody's used this comm since November, but I figured the cohost folks would wanna see this?
I know the full degree to which Cohost enabled CSS *crimes* isn't quite possible on any other social media. However, it seems like there is a small community of people on here who are wringing the site's inline CSS capabilities for all of their worth. They're not shitposting with it the way the #css-crimes scene on Cohost, was, though.
Rather, it seems like getting fancy with in-post CSS seems to be most popular with the roleplay community on here. Some of the roleplayers get very #aesthetic with how they format their lists of RP accounts, book-keeping for different threads across the website, et cetera. Not *all* of them are doing this, but enough are that it seems noteworthy.

chriscodes, that's got some example codes to peruse. This post (which is technically a follow-up on this post) and this post strike me especially in terms of the visual effect. And then this post very much reminds me in spirit of a CSS Crime, in terms of just being creating an effect for literally no reason than Because You Can.
I am wondering what the people who used to post in the CSS Crimes tag on Cohost are doing now... it's one of the little things I miss seeing regularly.
