@feditips so true

@feditips it's also that when you have a small post and put 🧵 nobody actually expects it to be 50 posts long, so readers click on it thinking it's 2 or 3 posts. that boosts engagement

each message in the thread should also have a sped up subway surfers clip for ✨engagement✨

@feditips it's me I want that long ass thread rather than an entire essay in a single toot. But you want to post that massive thing the Fediverse got you.

@feditips in a world that grew past character limits, making threads is a stylistic choice. Threads naturally evolved as a technical necessity, but now making one is a statement

Lol @feditips not holding back XD

@feditips i concur

@feditips nodds in agreement

- Same goes with #Markdown support: Go with #GlitchSoc instances!

@feditips
Also, want to do long paragraphs to explain stuff? We have blogs for that.

@feditips It's not the admins that are stuck in the past. It's Eugen. We have to edit the code and recompile to increase the character limit, which is crazy. If it were just a simple config setting, nearly everyone would have it increased.

@feditips Controversial opinion, but I've grown to prefer the austere 500-character limit. Collapsing my ideas down into tiny, bitesize chunks (each shareable on their own) helps me to clarify my own thinking, and also stops me ranting into the wilderness before I've taken the time to consider sparser, more disciplined and impactful sentences.

Because some folks hate epic threads, I always aim for a maximum of four installments. So far, my longest has been five.
