That is a good point. If you don't need to deal with everyday people to socialize, you don't have to adapt your behaviour to the mean expectation of what is proper and not. I remember reading an interesting socialist argument on

I don't think the point is so much that it does not depend on Emacs, but that it is a phone application. Full independence seems inprobable, or at least I cannot imagine anyone adding support for all the external types: https:/&#

While it is true, these features seem to me to be added because Markdown is (ab)used the way it is. The issue is if you are working in an environment where it isn't possible, e.g. on a server where you only have vi/nano, and not e
