I love @pinafore. It has a simple and uncluttered UI, it is *absurdly* fast, and yet it retains all the main features of Mastodon. Also, the golden standard for webapps: it does not break the back button in the browser. What a beautiful piece of software you created here, @nolan, thank you!

For my first post today, I want to send a bouquet to Nolan, the developer of the Pinafore web app for Mastodon and Pleroma. Thanks for creating such a brilliant freedom-respecting UX!

Great software, Glitch-Social goodness plus Koyu's personal touches all over the place.

My thoughts on why the cramped 500 characters maximum Toot is a relic which Mastodon developers should consider revising. Or making easier to change, for the few instances that allow their users more modern space and limits.

Geez...

I have encountered the hard core Twitter user mentality in some admins I have made this request to.

They were users there for years, are used to the short burst posting, which I as a Forum user find baffling, unattractive and a general pain in the butt, to be perfectly honest.

There was a time, in the older days, when twitter started and ran over SMS. The 140 character limit came from that, as people had voice and SMS access, not mobile data.

The cramped space, terseness resulting from it, I could understand in that situation. But we have left that long behind.

I usually don't feel attracted to responding to the very short one liners. To call that "micro blogging" is a weird distortion of what I consider blogging to be.

I do write long posts in mastodon, and much longer form in Blog posts; have a hell of a time to post an announcement in Twitter for those in their measly 240 chars.

OP at my new Pleroma account, which thankfully doesn't have this Fossilized limit in place.

A sweet TL;DR short and sweet intro on Ingo's instance. NerdCulture.de is a Mastodon instance located in Germany.

500 characters maximum toot is painful and unusual punishment for me though. 😜

@nolan Good morning! Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Question - I am getting this 404 Error on #Pinafore when trying to post at the Local feed. Screen attached.

No error if I am responding to someone's post. This is happening only on one instance, Qoto.org.

What Could I do to solve? Logout could help?

Also, if you have any suggestions for existing sources for Pinafore help and tips, documentation -- I will be collating any info I can find and posting in our PF forum. TY !

* Maybe we should consider making the arXiv bot posts unlisted? *

* there's a lot of them, at schedule times of the day, late at night for me here.
*many users might not like to wade thru them.
* some might already have Muted the 5 or so arXiv posting accounts.

I know I did; it clears the timeline pretty effectively, and I have a duty as Mod to monitor all that is posted here.

So, what you Qoto users and Fedi at large think?

Unlisted posts will still go out, they just become harder to discover (as they will not show in any of the timelines.

Ideal solution - in my opinion, Unlisted posts as standard, plus maybe on Digest post per day (with a list of Toots made by the account that day), this being posted as "Public".

Image attached is from the moderators panel -- I just closed a report filled against one of the arXiv bot, accused of Spam.
