@tekphloyd Markdown should not be supported on Mastodon. It’ll force a support burden on all future mastodon apps to be backwards compatible. Once it’s available, people will expect you to use it , like they do on Discord. it won’t be opt-in. Also, writing markdown on mobile really sucks .
@tekphloyd this should be a server-side feature, and unless you're using vanilla Mastodon, that's what the rich-text-enabled part of the Fediverse already does. the spec says HTML on the wire, not Markdown, and definitely not HTML, strip it into plain text, and then pretend it's Markdown.
@tekphloyd do posts not have something comparable to a content-type header?
