#PKM proprietary/online products: exist
#Obsidian users: “better keep notes local and in a standard format!”
#Logseq users: “right, but also using #FOSS tools is important for the same reasons, Obsidian is not FOSS, on the other hand there is this new app called Logseq…”
Obsidian users: “it’s nice that everyone can use what suit them the best :)”

@post does FOSS software produce better plaintext markdown files?
Is this supposed to be a provocation? 🧐
Just in case you don’t know: Logseq stores data in Markdown files just like Obsidian but they are standard Markdown indented lists using dashes.
To some extent one can even use Logseq and Obsidian with the same folder.
It’s up to the user to avoid special syntax and this is true both in Logseq and Obsidian (the latter’s strenght is the ecosystem of plugins that often adds their own syntax).
Also notice that #hashtags
,[[wikilinks]]
, and YAML headers to store metadata are not standard Markdown.
@post I’m not sure what we’re arguing about? I know what Logseq is.
Then maybe you don’t what FOSS is?
