Or they could use a browser that displays stuff correctly.

The browser's displaying things just fine. The problem is forums that provide custom markup implementing an insufficient subset of what HTML allows for. In this case, HN provides formatting for blocks of code, but not quoted blocks of prose.

Oh, and HN is still using tables within tables within tables (within...) for their text formatting. I'm sure someone here will defend that. looks at calendar

Anyways, flying cars everyone! We're going to be the VC for flying cars!

There is a Firebase API used by most HN apps. I recommend the Materialistic app if you are on Android.

Then what's the problem? I can see the poem on a mobile browser. Although you have to use landscape.
