motivation

Why should only a-tag and form-tag* be able to make HTTP requests?

Why should only click & submit events trigger them?

Why should only GET & POST methods be available?

So you get angled-bracket-opening letter-a angled-bracket-closing (or in other words, an HTML a-Tag), but not formatted as code? That is weird as fuck.

const foo=""

That is meaningless, Lemmy doesn’t have issues with code, only with certain symbols.
