Guess what https://autistics.life!
We have a 2,000 character limit now!
Hosting company emailed me this morning with the good news!
No more threads for everyone. Yay! ❤️

@madeindex @ashleyspencer I'm bored and decided to reply cause I'm also curious, but I'm willing to bet it's masto.host. It's a managed hosting service that doesn't give admins access to the CLI, so anything done through the CLI needs to be done by Hugo, the guy who owns masto.host.
If it's not masto.host, ,maybe it's similar? Interested in the answer here.
@ashleyspencer
Is this a provider that specifically hosts #Mastodon instances or how do they know about the character limits? :)
Congratulation on 2000 though - many people care about this!
You could probably put it in the #server description like mstdn.social 😀
The instance directories don't seem to have it as a filter option 🤔
Interesting! Is there a technical difference with a higher character limit for the hosting company?
@madeindex Not sure. We were at 500 characters the whole time, but yesterday they said they could give my instance a higher character limit finally.
@BeAware @madeindex it’s toot.io
@ashleyspencer @madeindex ah! Yep, that's the other one that does things the same way. Thanks for the quick reply 👍
Was wondering how so many people have the skills to host #Mastodon, especially considering safety etc., thank you for enlightening me :)
@madeindex TBF, if you're decent with Linux, it's not terribly hard with other services like DigitalOcean one-click droplets. That's what I used to get started and then after, it's not too much maintenance work in my experience. Plus, I get MUCH more control than something like managed hosting could give.
@madeindex @BeAware I went with them (toot.io) because they’ve been in business the longest. We get every little update the day it launches, no tech issues, reliable. I’ve never had to worry about any of the tech stuff. Just get to enjoy being on my own instance. Even if I could have access to the code, I’d want someone who knows what they’re doing to manage that part so I don’t break anything.
@ale I'm OKAY with Linux. Not decent. It's easier for me to do it this way and I've never used docker so....yeah.🤷
@BeAware if you're decent with Linux, stop, only use docker + baremetal.
@ale we'll see. I'm thinking of eventually starting a new personal instance on a different domain. If I end up doing that, I'll probably move to baremetal. But I'm still undecided for now.
@BeAware never use docker, absorb your ideas and exponentially multiply your abilities to a limit you don't want to try.
