If you really believe in the silly 500 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?

Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.

I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻‍♂️

Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

Edit: I forgot, it's 500, not 250. I was probably thinking of Twitter, which went from 140 to 280, and now who even knows. XD
