Discord
Chat platform whose messages are formatted with markdown.
Discord is a chat and community platform whose message formatting is a subset of markdown: asterisks for bold and italic, backticks for inline code and fenced code blocks, double tildes for strikethrough, and > for quotes.
Code blocks support language identifiers for syntax highlighting, which is why Discord is popular with programming communities. Learning markdown once pays off directly in every Discord server you post in.
