/kbin currently has an issue with code blocks federated from Lemmy.

someCode {

}

When federating the above Lemmy code block, Lemmy adds additional <span style="color=#323232"> tags and corresponding closing tags on each line for some reason. That's technically legal in HTML, but /kbin doesn't handle it correctly currently and just displays them in plaintext.

As such, the above code block displays on kbin like this:

<span style="color=#323232">someCode {
</span><span style="color=#323232">
</span><span style="color=#323232">}
</span>

This userscript strips out those extra tags, trying to reproduce the first code block instead.
