This reminds me that I was never really able to enjoy #Twitter, and I think my objection was rooted in the philosophy that would intentionally and unnecessarily hamper posters by a character count.
Every other thing that irked me, from the UI through the algorithm, seems related to that original sin: a platform willing to block the beauty of the written word probably would be up for all of the rest of the ugliness of the experience.
And, of course, writers handcuffing themselves to such policies would be going into it with limitations on their craft.
I'm so glad at least some #Fediverse interfaces allow for writing that is as long as it needs to be to express the writer's beauty.
