Exciting! Mastodon may soon see support for incoming rich text.

Which means that more formatting options will be seen in Mastodon.

See screenshot for what this might look like.

The linked change just changes the sanitizer. This means that posts coming from outside that contain formatting will keep it. I have no idea if the Mastodon team plans to add markdown formatting to their internal input processing.

But rejoice, you will be able to see my properly formatted markdown posts.
