Hey, @p, can we get an interface for rich text on our posts? It's a minor inconvenience to have to switch to HTML and manually add the <b>'s and <i>'s and shiet.

If you need an example, I hear Gab Pro subscribers get to post with rich text and it has an interface.

This is the site I was talking about: https://gab.com

@rasterman @p Using HTML in posts poses security risks. I'm surprised that you guys are using it in current year.

@xianc78 @rasterman The posts go across the network as HTML, this just lets people write it directly. It's not much of a security problem: tags and attributes are whitelisted and the rest is scrubbed, and you have to do the scrubbing anyway because the posts that come in from external servers are HTML (inside a string in a JSON object).

@p @rasterman The last time I've heard of using direct HTML for post formatting was for Blogspot comments.

@xianc78 @rasterman Well, now that you've heard ActivityPub does it, you have seen current use.
