@freemo regarding the character limit on #qoto I think it must be WAY MUCH lower. May I ask about his decision of yours? I believe if someone is willing to publish a useful and/or interesting post which is more than 2-3 paragraphs, it must be in a blog and not here. You can host a separate Writefreely instance for that purpose. For myself, if something is useful and long enough, I would write a blog post where it's very easy to find for myself and the others. Also Writefreely does the SEO very good so people could find my useful content easily using search engines.
Most people like the generous word limit. It automatically truncates and says "read more" if it's really long, so what's the problem?
If someone is writing a bunch of long posts and you don't want to read them, just skip over them and don't read them. You can always mute them if they never say anything you want to hear.
