Jul 13, 2022 at 13:06 comment added OpenAI was the last straw Agree with @RyanM. WCAG accessibility guidelines advise that there should only be one <h1> tag on a webpage, which should be for the page title, which for SO is the question title. There should be no other <h1> tags on the page because screen readers don't handle multiple <h1> tags well.

Jul 13, 2022 at 8:07 comment added Ryan M A better alternative approach might be to silently translate the headers in the post source into one level lower. For example, using Heading 1 would produce an <h2> tag, Heading 2 would produce <h3>, and so on. Though that creates the question of how to best handle existing posts that already use headings.
Jul 13, 2022 at 7:00 comment added Glorfindel Mod @RyanM I don't (think I) use it, but it feels weird to start the list with #2. Heck, as a programmer I'm already confused it doesn't start with 0 ...
Jul 13, 2022 at 3:29 comment added Ryan M Additionally: could we consider removing Heading 1 from the list? It is obnoxiously large, putting it on the same level as the page title. It definitely should not be the default heading level that is applied in Markdown mode.
