   Mastodon users are so desperate to post text that they're splitting alt text across posts now.

     @prettygood @ai @cine it's nice to be reminded he's not a prickly weirdo because he's ideologically captured or something, he's like that about whatever

     @ai @cine JWZ is a real human at least. The guy worked on a lot of cool software, helped to found Mozilla, and then went "dude fuck this" and decided to run a night club instead. If you've ever done software development, he's living the dream: not developing software. Truthfully, I'm envious.

     Step 1: Appropiate a preexisting network into your new brand
     Step 2: Create artificial limitations
     Step 3: Cultivate a userbase of insufferable virtue signalers

     Thankfully, that particular limit is now a variable in the environment file

     As a reminder, one of the reasons that was passed around by a particularly deranged loser on Octodon (kitsunealicia) that I was a meganazi and to be b& by everyone and reported to the police.... You ready for this?

     Is because I had upped the character limit on my instance.

     Yeah. These people are.... Something.

     Are they complaining about Gargamon or do these idiots think the instance admin can just change the post limit? It's fucking hard coded into Masto. There were several PRs for making it configurable and all of them were closed out. If an admin wants to increase the limit, they've gotta write (or grab) a patch and incorporate it into their whole update/deployment system.

     @prettygood I remember back in the day when Twitter first added support for images and you didn't have to use twitpic or something, and I think it was like a month before people started using images full of text to get around the character limit.

     @sun @ai @cine yeah he's incredibly thin-skinned and blocks people for no good reason. That, I don't respect.

     @lanodan SMS is the single worst thing to happen to human communication since the burning of the library of Alexandria.
