@Lyniven its not necessarily _just_ for code, but also to convey _tone_. I'd written some texts that would be *so* inappropriate had it not been for markdown to make what I mean clearer.

`markdown` is just that hyped. Even if it doesn't get __formatting__, it's still present in our **writing**. -
@EpicofGilgamesh I really, really do! It's my default way of communicating technical information.

So that people don't use top level heading for every fucking comment.
List, Bold, Italics and underline should be fine, but still, we don't need it. -

and to quote @daceXi:
"A quote from dfox on this:
'I think text formatting is fun for a week and then everyone gets tired of it and it becomes more of a way to spam/be annoying than actually increase the quality of rants. We purposely don't format anything (even links) on the main rant feed because we stress the importance of the quality of the rant over how it's formatted/how much space it takes up. That's another reason why rants containing images get slightly down-weighted - because they stand out more in the feed and hence get more attention, naturally.'"
