My long-standing pet peeve with #Mastodon is the post character limit which forces people to make threads like on #Twitter. Sure, it's 500 characters which reduces the numbers of posts strung together, but it still results in a worse experience since posts are individually delivered to recipients unlike Twitter where they are presented together.

On my side, Mastodon threads are rarely complete unless the last post of the thread was shared with me, or they were each individually interacted with. It didn't have to be like this!

@hypolite It depends on the instance. There are instances with a modified codebase, some have a big character limit. The one I'm on has a 65k limit for example.

@trinsec That's great, but it doesn't remove the punitive default.

@hypolite True that. Not much we can do about it I suspect.
