#UnpopularOpinion I don't like instances that allow far more than 500 characters per toot. #ActivityPub is not a blog platform. I tend to just scroll over posts that are too long. I didn't come here to read long texts. I think that toots should be short messages. With links if need to more persistent and retrievable content. Toots are meant to be more like short-lived status updates. Which is why I auto delete toots after a few days, unless they get traction.
@Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange: Even on instances that only allow 500 characters, people can and will write more than that, in threads. The technical limit is entirely arbitrary and doesn't stop anyone, I believe you're focusing on the wrong thing.
