oulipo.social is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.
This post would pass its validation.

You mean “e” is forbidden in toots?

Yup, the software is patched to not allow
ein usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.Bebo@literature.cafe 1 year ago
That’s really interesting!
