So what’s the technological story here? I’m guessing lemmy itself uses a particular markdown parser that could probably be extracted and used in other contexts as it’s likely written in rust and should therefore be pretty portable without too much effort.
Are other apps just using whatever markdown parser is convenient to them? Is this something that the lemmy and threadiverse community could converge on? Even the fediverse as a whole where just about every platform other than mastodon supports writing in some for of markdown … feels like a pandoc like utility could go far.
I’m probably not the person to ask, to be honest. Lemmy as I understand it is the protocol that exchanges the information about posts, etc. The post content is stored and shared as plaintext, but Lemmy also has instructions about how a UI should interpret the text and serve it to the user.
Ideally, the same text should appear consistent across any UI. Obviously, some apps will use different fonts and colors and may interpret the style of an element differently.

Oh yea styling isn’t the issue here … it’s whether the markdown is correctly interpreted and rendered. AFAIU, lemmy doesn’t have any instructions about how to interpret the text, just some standard that they’ve chosen to use, along with their open source software for doing so (as they’ve built too clients, the default web UI and Jerboa).
I’ve played a fair amount of both but to be fair never competitively. Like for example I played tons of Warcraft 2 and 3 with friends at LAN parties. But these days I’m more likely to be drawn to a single player turn based game like XCOM, Civ, or FF Tactics style games.
Do radio shows count? I don’t know that anyone has mentioned A Way With Words, in which the hosts answer questions from callers on any and all language questions.
I have become very tiresome with how those mods seems to be on some sort of power trip
In my experience, that’s only on lemmy.ml and maybe one or two other instances. If you go there, just know the entire vibe there is (seemingly) “westerners bad, liberals bad, all hail communism cause capitalism is a western liberal ideal!” or some other variation of that whole backwards ideology.
There’s a couple instances that have their heads so far up their own asses that they’ve become their own Adam’s Apple, and those ones are usually just mods going on power trips because someone called them a bad name.
Ultimately this place is hardly different than reddit, aside from not being a corporate megastructure that will sell your post history to the highest bidder (but that might change, so stay vigilant). You’ll learn what instances/subcommunities are worth seeing–and which ones are best avoided–in time.

I mean,that’s all there is to say really. I know the fediverse is broken up into different, interconnected domains, but literally any one of them could be monetized by their domain owner. Obviously we would all just block that domain/move to another, but it’s not an impossibility.
Mostly I’m just saying, “don’t get complacent, they could always pull the rug from under us.”
For me (a woman - averagely good looking not beautiful or ugly) physical attraction is a yes/no immediate screening by my scumbag subconscious brain and no guy has ever moved from the no bucket into the yes bucket, because to land in the “No” means looks bad enough I can’t get past it.
But no guy has ever been attractive to me based only on looks either. Looking better than ok really means nothing.
So not physically attractive? Sure, maybe. Literally physically unattractive to me? No.
