Linkbait title, but I think this is something that ought to be discussed. If there's consensus, I'm happy to provide a patch.

It doesn't make sense that Forem comes without a formatter. New users expect that there will be rich text editing—a standard for pretty much any online forum. Providing the option to customize is powerful, but the goal ought to be zero-config: the most standard use case should require absolutely zero admin work. To me, that means including a default {insert-templating-language-here} formatter that can be overridden.
