It's 2023 and websites have now given up completely on marking links in any way, it's just more fun to guess what you can click or something.
If you're a web designer, by Carl Sagan's baby teeth, don't do this.

@doachs yeah, seriously
@thomasfuchs I miss the good old days where links were blue and links I had already visited were purple. :(
@BalooUriza I don't care that much exactly how it looks like if at least it looks like something, anything please
@thomasfuchs This took a considerable amount of work since the default formatting for unclicked links going back forever is blue underlined text.
Also could we please, please stop fucking with link text styles and let the browser do its job please?
@BalooUriza as for "work" it takes, usually the first thing web designers do is slap some sort of "reset" stylesheet on, it's the worst
@thomasfuchs I'll bet you a nickel that site is styled with Tailwind.
@thomasfuchs TRUTH!
Reminds me of @hbuchel 's excellent essay "Just normal web things."
🌟Let me copy text so I can paste it.
🌟If something navigates like a link, let me do link things.
🌟Let me zoom in on my browser without the website getting all out of whack.
🌟Let me have hover styles.
🌟If the UI completely changes when I click on something, as if I've navigated to a new page, give me a browser history update and a new url.
🌟Let me see scroll bars.

@ethanjstark @hbuchel yeah, agree with all this
@thomasfuchs I am constantly fighting the link underline battle and I am tired. Like, friend, not even a color change? Can I get anything? Please?
@hbuchel srsly
