I am a well-known instance of those persons who use way too many words to describe concepts which could be compressed into 140 characters. Sometimes I feel that communication works better if I try to make it as precise and hard to misunderstand as possible, instead of shortening it to the size of a poppy seed and hope that people will read what I have meant to write.

But I know all well for a real long time now that twitter was not made for me and I do not happen to be in the target audience of short messaging, not for SMS and not for 500 character limited Mastodon. In fact I already had at least 3 posts in the last few days that was within 10 characters of the maximum 500, and had to trim or replace words just to be able to cram into the textbox what I wanted to say.

All that being said I also happen to have a friendica account, which you are just observing, and I deliberately try to break all the pissible, I mean, possible limits of that 500 characters.

This comment whall be around the double in size. Let's see what mastodon can make of it.

In fact it was a weird one. Involved Ms. Thunberg and her topics, which usually attract both very interesting and good people as well as complete lunatics, fanatics and zealots. Unfortunately it is very hard to argue with a fanatic. And in the same thread there was a guy on the same side as the lunatic one and have discussed our disagreement nicely and empathically. So indeed, the guy wasn't missed.

Interesting fact: #friendica cannot pull individual posts, it only pulls the actor's page.
