STOP DOING THREADS

  • POSTS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SPLIT INTO 25 PARTS
  • YEARS of POSTING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for a low character limit
  • Wanted a low character limit anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “SMS”
  • “My post got so long that I had to split it into 10 parts. Stay tuned for the 20 part sequel” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Mastodon Users have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the Fediverse and protocols WE built for them:
(This is REAL Posting, done by REAL Mastodon Users)

  • Why communism will win, a đź§µ (1/255)
  • Why I should be allowed to index all your posts for profit, a thread (1/X)
  • The rise and fall of Twitter (283/185,781)

“Hello, I would like a 500 character limit please”
They have played us for absolute fools

@starshine even SMS is decent though, I can send 10x SMS messages and it'll show up as 1

The 500 limit on most Mastodon servers isn't enough, especially if you want to write something long

@experiencersinternational @starshine this is a bad interface for *reading* typical long content, never mind for writing it. No headers, tables, inline images, italics, etc.
@DrHyde @starshine Italics is a feature on non Mastodon instances, such as Akkoma I believe
