I didn't know there was a distinction. In Damus or Nostrgram, is there a way to delineate "social" vs "blog"? 🤔

The first popular nostr clients are mostly social clients, including Damus, nostrgram, Iris, Amethyst, snort.social, etc. These "notes" don't allow modifications nor markdown. The protocol has defined recently a new use case that allows to use nostr to publish and distribute longer form content, as blog posts. Some nostr clients/webs have started to be developed to support this use case. i.e. https://habla.news #[6] is working on it, if you are interested in following its development. These "long form content" notes allow modifications and markdown.

Where does the protocol say "No markdown in social nostr"?

"1: text_note: the content is set to the text content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Non-plaintext notes should instead use kind 1000-10000 as described in NIP-16." https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md
