@freemo regarding the character limit on 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.

@farooqkz From years of being here, I think you are the first person (at least that I have seen) to be opposed to this. People don't have to use all the characters, theres a "show more" break so that it doesn't take up peoples screens, and if people choose, they can write it on a blog instead. Seems like your only offense is to the feature, is peoples choice to use it or not. @freemo

@obi @freemo I think people must be encouraged to write their long useful contents in something like Writefreely and not Mastodon. And the reason is because of the reason's I talked about briefly in my previous toot.

Nevertheless, freemo can launch a Writefreely instance without decreasing the character limit.

@farooqkz

I am happy to look into a writefreely instance. I might set one up regardless of word count here.

@obi

@freemo @obi If you do, I highly recommend you that you review people's post before creating them an account.

I've seen many writefreely instances full of crap and spam and/or test posts...
