Blog post for Mastodon 4.3 is prepared. There's going to be another beta and then a release candidate next week but then we're good to go. I'm looking forward to concluding that work stream.
We've been continuosly rolling out updates to mastodon.social over the past 11 months, which is good for getting stuff out there, but it's easy to lose track of individual improvements that way, so it'll be nice to put everything together for once.

@Gargron Is it about aspect ratios?
@Gargron will it have reactions
or quote posts
or a reasonable character limit
or cat ears
or mfm
or local-only posting

@graphite If they ever add quote posting I think there should be an option to block them too.

Reactions would be a very welcome edition, it'd better integrate with Pleroma.

@Gargron i still have to not show menubar in firefox to access my emoji eas😐 ly
@Gargron I’m excited, I can’t wait!
@Gargron PLEASE, as an admin, let us set post-length limits in the admin settings. Every single update overwrites the manual override and the 500-char limit is arbitrary.
