This is the commit/change that disabled it: turn on security options for commonmark

Being able to freely edit the html is fun, but it's also unsafe and can easily be abused. I assume it was disabled to prevent issues before they can occur.

Especially after the exploit that took down LemmyWorld and some other big instances just a few days ago. I'd rather lose some bells and whistles on my profile than leave possible attack vectors open.
