@hikerus It’s really not about what you want or think is it? The net is a daily evolving beast. Evolving because people are investigating the frontiers. I have the option to use this and nobody really needs to offended by it as it is non-intrusive. In fact as https://gnus.wideweb.me/notice/6734 shows I use it to be less intrusive in my text messages. I find textile a better option for me then markdown. Thats my prerogative. Using it gave me also an idea to write another plugin to insert richtext (what the webapplet should be able to display).
All in all I am researching, toying arround and having fun. Exactly what !gnusocial is about. Textservice for you. Fine. Something more for me. Also fine. Let’s respect that.
