I'm really liking the 500-character limit here.

It just gives more space, when you need it, to chat in a conversational manner and expand upon some ideas.

Of course I've been trained up by The Other Place to be very pithy and cutting when I need to... but I'm rather enjoying the ability here to just stretch out my legs a little more comfortably on these mini-blogs. It feels nice.

@mikegalsworthy yup, I never could get on with 140 characters. 280 was reasonable.

Though looking at this screenshot, I think it looks as though it's a lot higher for the server I chose almost blindly

@ParkinJim @mikegalsworthy
Mine also shows a figure much larger than the 500 quoted in the guide - 65535 to be precise; the size of a 16 bit integer. I'm sure there is some significance in that coincidence.

@Paulos_the_fog @mikegalsworthy

Yup, and we are both on @qoto.org...

I guess we'll figure out how it works eventually.

But I can see this being the Wikipedia of social media - as in decentralised is going to be popular

@ParkinJim @Paulos_the_fog @mikegalsworthy @qoto.org Hey fellow qoto.org folk! yep, we have an even higher limit to play with! Feels so strange to be able to write in full sentences! Although I think my poor spelling/typos will be harder to hide now I am not shortening every word! 🤔
