What actually happened?

22:53 <sandra> Getting complaints (from off-instance posters
posting from Mastodon) about how Akkoma-FE renders
their RTL paragraphs:
https://idiomdrottning.org/notice/AfDiEjivMhLJ9PW0UC
🤷🏻‍♀️
00:43 <Oneric> I’m not sure how, since BiDi needs to be run
separately per-paragraph anyway, but somehow the
surrounding is affecting the posts bidi state (or
maybe the browser for some reason refuses to use
Unicode BiDi in the first place atm)
00:43 <Oneric> Setting 'unicode-bidi: plaintext;' on '.StatusBody
.text' fixes this; not sure if/where else this
should be set;.
00:43 <Oneric> sandra: file an issue against akkoma-fe with this
info (or if you can check this more and directly
create a patch)
00:53 <sandra> Oneric: What's weird its that it displays correctly
on their masto
