Not just #Mastodon #admin advice, but good practice in general: If somebody tells you to type a thing with backticks (that's one of these: ` ), make extra-sure you know exactly what each part of that thing does.
That little symbol opens a tunnel out of the console of your little world into one with WAY more power and possibility. Smart witches take care with the words they send through that portal.
(I haven't seen any malicious advice here to inspire this caution. Just ... I know the tricks played on new admins. Try not to learn the hard way, 'k?)
@sev And slack uses backticks as code formatting!
@skroo ..... I didn't want to know that! :/
@skroo I mean, I'm not unhappy that you *told* me that. I'm just a luddite about these sorts of things at first. In a couple of days the shock will wear off, I'm sure.
@sev Aye.
