🚨 MASTODON SUPPORTS RICH TEXT RENDERING! 🚨

No more unicode hacks! This makes the Fediverse more usable!

I knew this update was supposed to support this, but this is the first time I've seen this in the wild.

This post was composed in Friendica, and Mastodon now accurately displays:

• Quotes
• Bold
• Italics

Currently, I’ve only seen rich text rendered in Mastodon’s native web app. I don’t see it in the mobile app.

See screenshot!

You can use the Fediverse through BBS.

Dear journalists, please stop referring to Mastodon as “Web3”.

While Mastodon is decentralized, it doesn’t utilize blockchain or token-based economics.

While you may believe this buzzword makes you sound smart to readers, it really just generates confusion.

Opt-in search of the Fediverse was just rolled out. Here it is:

Search has traditionally been very controversial on the Fediverse, but let's see how opt-in works.

Right now, this is a proof-of-concept and very bare bones -- but we'll see if it's embraced by everyone.
