One thing I do enjoy about Mastodon is the expanded character limit. 500 characters seems to be the perfect amount to express a thought while preventing a full essay about a topic. It's a very nice middle ground.
@jlward I agree. So far I am really liking the look and feel of this place. It just took a while to wrap my head around it, and I'm probably "doing it wrong". 😁

@leauxra @jlward I don't know if you can 'do it wrong' once you stick to the guidelines for your instance and are generally respectful, label things that are not safe for work and use content warnings.

As I'm new, I feel that by remembering there were people here before me and not shouting at everyone what should be done or how it should be done, would go a long way to making it nicer for those who were here from the beginning.
Just my idea though, not preaching

@jlward @leauxra
although I'm sure new ideas are welcome but sometimes I think it can be a case of "I'm here now, let me tell you all what you did wrong and here's how I can fix it".

But maybe that's just me as I live with someone who is always like this :(
