What's wrong with not having TLS? If it's just for hobbiests to share text documents, why include a TLS layer?

Suddenly you can't trust anything you're being served as there are so many endpoints you could be MITM'd at. Reading a text about some experience someone had? Snippets from that text could have been replaced if you are not using any cryptographic protocol what so ever.

Fair point. But if we're talking about a protocol not meant for the mainstream, is it really an attack vector to worry about?

For some, yes.
