#crazy #stuff #but #not #on #fb #and #twitter #!!
it looks really cool on diaspora, but on facebook it looks like here on github in the code block. Ugly. It would be nice to remove all Markdown characters for fb and and twitter (except hashtags for twitter). I often wanted to post something on diaspora and fb, but especially the hashtags look really ugly, so I always copied and pasted everything and removed all "#"s by hand. but that's really inelegant.
