Sometimes I have more to say than I can fit into a single post on Mastodon. After all, I'm often cramming 86 years of life experience into bite size bits! That's why I'm also on Post, where I'm able to share more long-form exclusive content (and snarky takes, too πŸ˜‰).

Hope to see you there! πŸ‘‹ https://post.news/@/georgehtakei?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=creator_organic&utm_campaign=georgehtakei&utm_content=followme

@georgetakei If you try a Fediverse service such as Akkoma you will be able to write longer also to Mastodon, as the Fediverse interoperates, which Post does not. Why not give it a try to? Would be great to read your longer texts here as well. :)
@georgetakei The link worked this time! πŸ‘πŸΌ
@georgetakei
It means a lot to me, to read from you. I am "only" 57, of course I'm Trekkie since childhood, but what you shared on social media, told me first, you not only seem to be one of us, but you are. β™₯️

(Hope you excuse bad english, I'm not a native speaker πŸ˜‰)
@georgetakei It tells me the account is not found, I think you need to be logged in to see anything, the same as, at times, with Twitter, I mean X. Even FB lets you see public posts but Post seems quite shut off. Could be a good thing! But I don't want to have to go to a ton of social media to read up, so, I am sad to say I will skip Post for now.
@georgetakei I am always so happy to see your posts, snarky or not. I benefit from your wisdom - I've only been acquiring mine, such as it is, for 76 years!

@georgetakei Post appears to be a walled garden, not open like the Fediverse, or even the plain Web. Maybe try something like WordPress, that does support ActivityPub, and can be any length you want.
@georgetakei the number of characters you are allowed depends on your instance, here.
@georgetakei you will post here and you will like it!

@georgetakei there are mastodon instances who have over 1000 characters limits.
@georgetakei You could use #WriteFreely which is part of the fediverse (so mastodon users can follow/boost/reply) and doesn't have a character limit.
@georgetakei you can’t be that old, are you part Vulcan? If not, what’s your secret?
