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

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

I hope it would be implemented by Markdown, BBCode or similar, not via some "rich text" extension/app/tool

@k8quinn You won't be able to write it; you'll only be able to read it when it comes in from something that isn't Mastodon.
