Confused by Mastodon URLs?

txtdot seems to choke on Mastodon URLs, such as https://mastodon.social/@fabinou ; the /@ confuses it?

For some strange reason the stackoverflow engine is triggered.

When all engines fail, it turns out the one that triggered the error was not the standard one, but the very first one, which is stackoverflow. Readability can't parse this page either. The problem is not the url. We need to make a custom engine for mastodon.

Oh, don't worry too much. Mastodon has an API and RSS feeds, so for me it's not a priority to have txtdot process it correctly, so I don't need a custom engine- I was just curious and testing txtdot.

I thought textder would take care of this, though?

BTW, I had moderate success "reading" Mastodon URLs with:

$ chromium --headless --dump-dom https://mastodon.social/@chechar/112684876504101474 | w3m -T text/html -dump
