Lemmy uses markdown, you can choose to learn it instead of getting frustrated about it lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, why are you putting question marks in the middle of the sentence? Reads horrible.
xml is better than markdown, you will not change my mind, but i would like to see you try
when they were writing the code to convert markdown to xml, because no, sane or insane, web browser supports markdown, did, at no point, did they think "gosh, there's got to be a better way"???
Markdown is for humans who are writing their prose on the fly and don't want to be bothered with the cognitive load associated with the extra verbiage and rulesets of XML.
XML is for computers which are great with verbiage and rulesets.
It's perfectly fine to have a converter between the two to bridge the gap.
that's gotta be ragebait...
forcing a markup language for humans is so therianphobic!!!
and, it is so easy to write xml. markdown is way harder. escaping markdown, you have to remember to put a backslash before every character that markdown deems special, with xml, you just use <, >, and &.
it is both silly and saddening how many harmful stereotypes you've used in such a short span
also, xml is an interchange format, markdown is not!!! using markdown in federated software means that it's going to break!!! you could have the editor use markdown and the federation use xml...
Are you trolling?
no? :)
now what happened here??? 7 cowards, who are all jeering me, yet are too ashamed to show their face?? show yourselves!!
i love your energy
