Although Mastodon's ability to create longer posts is appealing to the writer, it is unpleasant for the reader, who often prefers not to scroll through long blocks of text. I suspect this will prevent mass adoption of this platform.
I really appreciate when users use a CW for long posts. Something like I've done here...though without the long post.
Definitely makes it easier to scroll past or choose to open if you want to read it.
