If anyone has other suggestions to mitigate this

Firefox has “permissions.default.image” (link) option that disables image loading, but this Wikipage is very old so I’m not sure whether it works properly in current FIrefox.

Yes, they started the restriction a year ago. For a future reference, here’s the announcement about the restriction (written in Japanese): https://support.misskey.io/hc/ja/articles/7604557294607

Yes, fenced code block with specifying langauge may work as a workaround.

```text
systemctl --user cat emacs
```

but I said “inline” explicitly.

lemmy-ui: Highlighting some words blindly in inline code is really annoying. For example,

• systemctl --user cat emacs
• pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

Since it’s a MediaWiki page you can get Markdown source of the page with appending action=raw query to the URL.
