markdown is exactly the kind of minimalism i hate, it is more restrictive than simplifying. actually i am fine with markdown so long as it is not parsed by a markdown parser -- it makes a lot more sense as a *microsyntax* and not an actual markup language. you can encode some limited semantics with it (things like emphasis), but you cannot encode any significant structure except what might be inferred implicitly by e.g. heading levels. i would not want to author everything in markdown.

@trwnh yeah, and that's kind of exactly the original design plan for markdown: just something basic that would beautiful text emails and such.
For more serious work, things like AsciiDoc are much better.

@oblomov that's not how it's used nowadays though. maybe in an alternate timeline markdown would have evolved more in the direction of NFO files or the ascii art headers you would see at the top of gamefaqs walkthroughs, instead of people treating it like you can write blog posts in it
i went into more detail in a subthread with someone else on followers-only scope but basically i would in almost every case prefer either plain text or HTML

@simonperry Ai social non interessa avere una moralità, se un video, una foto o altro fa visualizzazioni, per loro va bene, più click, più soldi. È inutile segnalare oramai.
Il virale può essere amorale (e spesso lo è), perché si sta costruendo un mondo basso che ride per cose stupide.
Il problema è la mancanza odierna sia di cultura che di morale.PS: per morale intendo saper distinguere il bene dal male, il giusto dall'ingiusto, aver coerenza etc...

@kristiana eh, magari... Sono qui solo un fine settimana ogni tanto. Il sogno è di trasferirmi qui da pensionato. Ma la vedo dura. Le case costano un botto.
