**sarcasm!?** Is it possible that platforms did not pick up on markdown early on because of technical limitations, as opposed to people not finding markdown useful?

#nostr encourages self expression. It doesn't have a character limit. It is beginning to show signs of replacing something like blogging and medium, especially if people can get lightning zaps directly on each post.

You are already seeing people use markdown, that is why you are seeing it break in some nostr clients. Could it be one of those "good problems" to have, because it signals where the people of nostr want to take their thoughts?

Would it not be better to try to encourage clients to adopt markdown, instead of removing it? Is it not worth it to open a door to creative expression, even if right now it seems a little broken? It's fixable.
