I wonder why this was implemented (and where is it documented btw?).

D3 said he spent 20 hours coding it. He had forgotten he did it 😂

Also another bug: in my inbox, I see the formatting instead of the chat box.

Huh, interesting. Maybe spawning a chat box in an inbox would be problematic.

What's even the format for spoilers here?

Doesn't come up as a spoiler...

You asked for the formatting. If you try to enter that as a spoiler though, you'll get a 500 error.

That's because they used \ to escape the formatting.

I see. And I can confirm, that causes a 500 error.

[–]Alphix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes.

So why is it different on saidit than reddit, why does reddit's formatting give the 500 error, and where is all of this documented (because every single person but me seems to know it all)?
