This week we flipped the switch on better truncation in the Micro.blog timeline, preserving styles and links. It’s working well. See this screenshot of a slightly too-long post that is nicely truncated with italics, em dash, and inline link still there.

@manton Will that behavior carry over to other syndicated platforms? Or is that a whole other thing?

@markstoneman It will carry over. Cross-posting to other platforms is based on the same text that appears in the timeline here.

@ayjay I said slightly too long. 🤪 Should’ve specified too long only for Micro.blog’s pickiness.

@manton Long / short aside … thankyou. It was such a mess before, but never complained because I just assumed that was how it all is.
