Every time someone posts an interesting opinion where I'd love to participate in a discussion, I just get super frustrated that I need to limit myself to 500 characters.

Can someone tell me, who decided that "microblogging" is going to be where it's at?

@nicemicro If I find out, I'll let you know so you can have what's left after I've had my say.

Really Thicc Guy :verified:

@nicemicro well over here at starnix we have a 5000 character limit. I feel you

MattZ
Your admin does, there are multiple forks and different software that allows you to customise the limit

Got a 16351 character limit here on Free Speech Extremism :)

@nicemicro There are different perspectives, a limit on toot size is also a good opportunity to practice being laconic and getting rid of verbal diarrhea

NiceMicro

@birnim Sure. The limit is absolutely fine for the main thing I'm using this profile, that is, posting updates about my projects.

But some kinds of discussions just can not be had on this platform efficiently with this limitation.

@nicemicro reading giant toots doesn't scale well either
