CSS Shenanigans?

[malymin]

Well, 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.

I found a community, 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.

I haven't seen the "crimes" thing but there are communities on DW that deal in CSS including dreamcodes and dreamwidthlayouts, so those might be places to look.

Not quite what you were asking for, but this seems like a nice place to share it around.
