Jo H ✈️ (futurshox@squawk.mytransponder.com)'s status on Tuesday, 20-Feb-2024 03:10:09 JST Jo H ✈️ @nimphal Oh that is so frustrating. I’ve been dinged for my 2-character name before now; no - it must be three characters to be an actual name, apparently. No excuses for a 20-char limit though, that’s just silly.
