For example, the project claimed to provide long-term data integrity. Data integrity issues started cropping up in notes. Turns out the editors plugins are repackaged upstream dependencies, which is fine, but those projects were minimally repackaged under another license and sold for money. When issues were pointed out to the team, StandardNotes responded by blaming and divesting themselves from some plugins.
If you repackage upstream dependencies under a different license and sell it for money, you don't get you blame the upstream dependencies- you get to make the ecosystem better. The StandardNotes team went essentially dark for months on end to. StandardNotes checked the box on providing the source code, but not playing the community role.
Joplin also has weird formatting style, it's not easily exportable to other markdown editors.
Not sure what Markdown editor you're exporting to, but this list of Markdown Options in Joplin should help you narrow things down. Simply disable all the extension options for maximum Markdown compatibility between editors. When I left StandardNotes, it exported binary data for the SpreadSheets, which is truly a weird export format.
I donno, Joplin acts like better community stewards and provides a more reliable product. Paying for StandardNotes sent money to a team that avoided responsibility. Paying for Joplin seem to support the whole ecosystem around the product. Give Joplin a try. Worst case, you'll still be able to export your data.

Wish people should stop look at the demand and start looking at the effect.
There's are strong arguments against pipeline construction but they're not "train routes will be bothered because, demand". Perhaps America should build more rail and dedicate some as passenger rail than build a pipeline.
This idea that induced demand cannot be managed is silly though.

Let me be clear - Increasing speeds because a vehicle no longer burns gasoline is sounds like a bad idea to me. My comment intended to make it very clear the environmental costs include more than carbon.
Best of luck promoting increased speed limits for EV Vehicles in New Zealand. Please considering elaborating on such a specific situation in a more upfront way in the future.

Increased speed increases the chance of death. The propulsion method (EV or gasoline) makes no difference in the pedestrian lives taken by increased speeds.
Please, slow down.

If enough publications follow suit then the content quality from the surviving ones may increase dramatically.
My fear is ending up in "news bundle subscriptions" like cable television. Maybe those types of subscriptions are better suited for publications though.

Extra moderation would take care of my 12 old cousin uttering new and "forbidden" words. An entire subset of the population is taking refuge in gaming community shadows.
Shining a light into the shadows could go a long way, in my opinion.
NFTs adds nothing to the art itself. Environmental costs of crypto are real.
Like cashing out future value for a discounted present value to make a quick buck. How will the NFT artists of today be viewed in a few years when the current generation of kids starts looking at who sold their climate out?
