How much of a nuisance have Mastodon users working around Mastodon's hard-coded 500-character limit become, at least from a non-Mastodon point of view?
Enough of a nuisance for the main developer of Hubzilla to speak up against it.
Dear people of the Fediverse,
Please STOP tearing your carefully crafted essays to pieces. This is no longer necessary. If your preferred instance does not allow this, consider asking your instance admin to increase the limit or switch to a different instance. Besides, it is so last decade :face_with_rolling_eyes:
See? If Mastodon users can complain about "long posts" from outside Mastodon, namely anything that exceeds 500 characters, then those of us who did not come into the Fediverse via Mastodon can complain about Mastodon users chopping long posts up into lots of little pieces.
Little nitpick: It has never been necessary. Friendica and Hubzilla have had a nearly unlimited character count since before Mastodon came with 500 characters.
