    Can we please have a setting in the administrator panel to set the character limit for a Mastodon instance?

    The current lack of such a setting does nothing apart from create a two-tier fediverse where folks who have the time to maintain their own Mastodon fork and folks who use other ActivityPub servers can write as much as they like whereas everyone else is limited to 500 characters. We’re not kids; make the option accessible and let instance owners decide for themselves.

      @aral Oh is that how some posts turn up massive? I always wondered how that worked.

      @virtulis Thanks, but it’s not feasible when you have it hosted by a third party (like toot.io or Mastohost). It’s just too much work for them to maintain forks for everyone they host. And I don’t have the time to do it myself.

      @aral twimc here's how you change some of the arbitrary limits: https://github.com/virtulis/mastodon/commit/7f60974eebcbf1a680370acc5e197c622a498047

      I can probably make a .patch if anyone needs it.

      @aral honestly even putting it in the config would be an upgrade.

      @virtulis @aral that would be fine. Edit: it may not be fine, as it still makes it inaccessible to folks hosted by a provider.

      @Judeet88 That’s cool. But the option should be there. Including the option to truncate at any point.

      @aral In this age of social media I bet I'm not the only one who tends to scroll past posts that are more than about 10 lines long. It'll take awhile for posters to realise that...

      @aral 500 characters is 3 times the twitter limit. The mastodon UI is made for short posts. And what we’re not talking about is the fact that’s about 100 words. If you can’t make your point, maybe the content isn’t meant for a microblogging service.

      @tom *sigh*

      You know you can:

      - Not follow accounts that write long posts
      - Block accounts that write long posts
      - Defederate with servers that allow long posts

      Not having the option makes no sense. You’re just saying only those with the time and technical knowledge to maintain their own fork can write long posts.

      @aral „Micro“blogging. I would rather not allow customization for more than 500 characters. There are enough other solutions for those who want to write "novels".

      @crazycool411@mastodon.social Any specific reason why you're using Mastodon then? Other fediverse platforms offer higher character limits.
