A request to put long posts - whether yours or boosted - behind a CW warning as the excess scrolling is HUGELY irritating #LongPosting #CW

Alright, let's try this again.

Dear Fediverse, please recommend me your best racist-free #LongPosting instances!

Must be longposting! Please don't recommend a server if the character limit is 500 or less, or if you're not sure what the character limit is.

Alternatively, if there's an instance directory out there that lets me sort or filter on post length limit, please let me know.

Instance directories that cannot do this need not apply. I already know them.

@redstarfish @alex Pleroma has configurable limits. By default, 5000 characters to create a post, and 100,000 characters for any downloaded posts.

They actually have it where you’re supposed to “edit” the source code, to configure stuff. The code does sorta like ‘include(“config/X.secret.exs”)’ where X.secret.exs doesn’t exist and each installation creates it. So you’re creating a file, not editing one that the devs will ever mess with, and the code to configure post limit size is deliberately accessible. There’s also an admin frontend at “/pleroma/admin” if you’d rather search through menus instead of editing a config file.

What I’d really like to see is the Fediverse using hash trees, where the only limit is how long you want to wait for a post to download.

Also, #longposting instead of #tootspam b/c #pleroma 🙌
