I wouldn't go that far. He designed the system to work a certain way, and from his perspective long toots are a form of not playing nicely with others. As a microblogging service he wanted Mastodon to be able to fit many toots onto the screen, so he capped the length. Other instances sending longer toots have forced him to modify the software to cope gracefully (e.g. by collapsing long toots), and he's not happy about having to do so.
@snow
It's politically complicated. The developer of Mastodon opposes instances using limits other than 500, so unmodified Mastodon treats 500 as a law of nature - by design, the API doesn't have a way for the server to tell a client differently.
QOTO is modified to allow more characters, but still lacks an official way to advertise this to Tusky. Some instances have unofficially extended the API to do so, and it sounds like QOTO may soon follow suit. Until then Tusky assumes the limit is 500.
@snow It is not your client that is causing this, Snow -- but a problem with the instance itself. I have the same limitation if using Pinafore client in my laptop. shows also 500 max, when it should be Qoto's 65,000 characters true limit.
Freemo knows about the problem and plans to fix it soon - but it is going to take some work, will be part of his upgrading the instance to the newer mastodon 4.01 version.
See this for my latest plea for a fix : https://qoto.org/@design_RG/103386034370170964

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
