We shall allow the ne'er-do-wells to populate Mastodon, but as part of the defederated Reddiverse! :) Honestly though, that was also my impression until I saw the implementation. It's really conservatively applied, and doesn't clog up the whole screen with text and distractions. Eg. if Discord/Slack had heading sizes for standard messages, it would be pretty horrible for the user. If our only objection is culture alignment, I say they go forward on it. I'd like to have code blocks and (eventually?) syntax highlighting for posting quick code snippets.
