We just played around on an unlisted thread, and some fun things were learned.
Do you see any differences?

What is going on? HOW did you get that text so?
The first pic was taken at a Glitch-Soc instance, a Mastodon fork which has some new ideas and controls.
The second one shows the same post, as seen on a regular instance, running a fork of mastodon 2.9.3.
The difference is down to MarkDown language, a simple text formatting language I am starting to learn and use on some places (blog, note taking support it.)

* Glitch Homepage is https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon
I love it, fresh new features include a strictly LOCAL, not federated at all option when you create any post.
But this Toot series is about the MarkDown, and here are the controls that enable it. Or even the choice to use full html tags on post if desired.

I am looking forward to the enhancements in GlitchSoc to percolate to other versions and forks.
Our sys admin here, @freemo has already mentioned he would like to merge some of these into the QOTO fork itself.
Time to do that is the problem, but the idea stands.
Cheers, #fediverse ! 😉 🍾 🍷
