jazzfish: an evil-looking man in a purple hood (Lord Fomax)
Good news: DW's <user name="user"> syntax can now be duplicated with the fewer-keystroke-requiring @ user (without space).

Bad news: anyone whose posts have been referring to Twitter accounts with @ user is now unexpectedly pointing to a lot of Dreamwidth accounts.

Worse news, though I assume this is in the nature of a bug: this seems to happen for RSS feeds too. See, e.g., https://pricetags-feed.dreamwidth.org/626785.html .

Mostly I wish there'd been some public warning / comment period that this was going to happen. :(

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
