   Mastodon forcing its posters to abbreviate long words makes it much more difficult for non-native speakers to comprehend

     @kaia But to Gargron, what are usability concerns? It could be worse tho, it could be Japanese Twitter.

     @SAKURARadiochan @kaia It does, but it also is jargon-heavy like almost nothing else on the internet.

     @allison @kaia JP Twitter has the advantage of big kanji blocks that communicate more ideas and meanings.

     @allison we could adopt kanji for English to increase text density :aismart:

     @kaia You jest, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the logical end result of the Unicode emoji code block will end up being.

     @kaia the best part about fedi is that i have to keep a mental list of all my friends who are on mastodon so i can avoid using webp animated emojis and emoji reacts with them :acat_flower:
     
     there is no way to find out from your end if they can see your cool features for interaction:acat_gangnam:

     @kaia @allison even just hangul would be a huge gain.

     @oblomov @kaia hangul (or something like it) would be a big gain for most languages actually

     @SAKURARadiochan @kaia @oblomov Ease of learning vs expected density. Ideograms are probably better on a number of dimensions but compared to other alphabetic type systems it's a definite improvement (not least for being actually designed).

     @allison @oblomov @kaia I think hanja is better than hangul. The ideograms convey ideas better and hangul just looks like KATAKANA to me.

     @allison @kaia @oblomov I found kanji much easier to learn than kana for whatever reason. I can visualize ideas.
     (note this probably only really extends to Classical Japanese, there've been some orthographic reforms since the 1920s)

     @SAKURARadiochan @kaia @oblomov I have some difficulty visualizing ideas but I haven't seriously tried learning kanji yet so I can't in good faith comment on the difficulty of them. However, I am sympathetic to Iversonian "notation as a tool of thought" type arguments so at the very least they seem like something I *should* learn, just on the principle of the thing.
