My hot take: the next thing Mastodon should do is not just hold to the 64k limit (or raise it) but start evolving the desktop and mobile UIs to encourage longer posts. Twitter and Facebook's pivoting of our brains towards required brevity is a major part of how we all wound up in this hellscape out of Black Mirror. It's time to nudge people back towards normal attention spans.
@ocschwar I'm so glad you didn't need 65k chars to tell us this, though. Being long-winded is the other extremity that we need to get rid of as well. 😋
Most of Mastodon instances are restricted to 500 characters, by the way.
