Drat! Those meddling kids and their new undo technology! 😃 (To me Ctrl-Z is the Unix suspend process. Heck, I'm old enough to remember Ctrl-S flow control. 😜 )
mastodon 4.7.3A long time ago I wrote free software for USENET and the early days of wikis. I generally do not post or boost messages at this time (July 2023).
Easier tip to make sure the website never erases your text (works on almost all browsers!):
Type your long text.
Type CONTROL-A to select all, then
Type almost anything EXCEPT CONTROL-C ...
Congratulations! You just erased your text before the website could! Maybe a core dump would help, but maybe not.
For extra fun in step 3 type CONTROL-V.
Hope this helps someone! 🤪
